سَلْوَةَpleasure in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَإِنِّي لَأُجَنِّبُهُمْ سَلْوَتَهَا وَعَيْشَهَا

  And indeed I do keep them away from its pleasures and its life.

  سَلْوَتَهَا — its pleasures. This noun has -ha, the 'its' possessor, fused to its end, pointing back to the world, so one word means 'its pleasures'. It is the thing the people are kept away from, the object of the keeping verb. The possessor tracks the earlier feminine referent rather than the nearest noun.
