Arabic vocabulary
How to say “nights” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
اللَّيَالِيَ ذَوَاتِ الْعَدَدِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ،
For several nights before he returned to his family,
اللَّيَالِيَ — the nights. This noun names a stretch of time and serves as a time-adverb spanning how long the retreats lasted; its accusative ending is what marks that 'for/during' adverbial role. It opens the 'of-a-number' pairing that follows to mean 'several nights'.
From: The Night of Revelation and Consolation →OpenArabic teaches words like اللَّيَالِيَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
