فَلَاسِفَةٌphilosophers

Example sentences

• اذا كان الذين قد انتدبوا للرد على الفلاسفة قد حاروا ولحقتهم كسفة،

  If those who set out to refute the philosophers were confused and affected by gloom,

  الْفَلَاسِفَةِ — the philosophers. This is the target of the refutation, in the genitive because the preposition before it demands that case. The word is a broken plural — Arabic reshapes the singular internally to make it plural rather than just adding an ending, which is why it looks quite different from its singular.
