Arabic vocabulary
How to say “one” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ثَلاثٌ، صَدِّقْ بِاِثْنَتَيْنِ وَلا تُصَدِّقْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ،
Three: believe two and do not believe one.
بِوَاحِدَةٍ — with one. A preposition on the front of a 'one' number word, the preposition fixing it as the thing not to be believed and forcing the 'of' (genitive) form. The number is the singular, feminine-marked count, contrasting with the earlier dual. One unit holds the attachment and the count.
