How to say “obscenity” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَقَدْ رُوِيَّنَا عَنْ ابْنِ عَائِشَةَ أَحَادِيثًا مِلَاحًا فِي بَعْضِهَا رِفْثٌ،
And indeed we have narrated from Ibn Aisha hadiths that are witty, and some of them contain obscenity.
رِفْثٌ — obscenity. An indefinite noun naming the coarse content, serving as the thing-that-exists in the 'in some of them there is...' frame. It carries the plain subject-form ending, marking it as what the partitive clause asserts to be present.
