How to say “parents” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
فأعجب والديه فأنفقا عليه كل مكنوز،
He amazed his parents, so they spent on him all their treasures.
وَالِدَيْهِ — his two parents. This is the object of the verb in the dual form, 'his two parents', with the dual ending folding 'exactly two' into the noun where English needs a separate 'two', plus an attached 'his' pointing back to the child. So one word carries object case, the count of two, and the possessor.
