مُلاحَظَةobservation

Example sentences

• فَاسْتَفَدْتُ بِالنَّظَرِ فِيهَا مِنْ مُلاحَظَةٍ سَيْرِ القَوْمِ،

  So I benefited from observing the conduct of the people.

  مُلاحَظَةٍ — an observation. An action noun ('an observing/noting') turned from a verb so a preposition can govern it; it sits in the genitive after 'from'. It is indefinite, a kind of observing, and it heads its own 'of' link to the conduct that follows. English uses an '-ing' noun the same way.
