نَفْيٌnegation

Example sentences

• الْآيَةُ وَهَذَا إِسْتِفْهَامٌ نَفْيٌ وَإِنْكَارُ أَيٍّ

  The verse: this is the interrogative particle expressing negation and repudiation.

  نَفْيٌ — negation. A noun 'negation' set alongside the previous one to spell out the force meant, sharing its case. Arabic lets one noun follow another in apposition to refine it, the way English stacks 'a question, a denial'.
