Arabic vocabulary
How to say “part” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وقال علي بن أبي طالب روحوا القلوب واطلبوا لها طرف الحكمة فإنها تمل كما تمل الأبدان
Ali ibn Abi Talib said, 'Refresh the hearts and seek for them a portion of wisdom, for they get weary as bodies get weary.'
طَرَفًا — a portion. The -an ending marks this as the direct object of 'seek' and, with no al-, as indefinite, 'a portion'. The 'of wisdom' phrase after it then narrows what portion.
From: Reviving the Heart →OpenArabic teaches words like طَرَفٍ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
