لَذَّةpleasure in Arabic

Example sentences

• فَأَمَّا الْعَاقِلُ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْهَى نَفْسَهُ عَنْ لَذَّةٍ تُعَقِّبُ أَلَمًا

  As for the rational person, he restrains himself from pleasure that is followed by pain.

  لَذَّةٍ — pleasure. Indefinite and genitive after 'from' — 'any pleasure'; it then opens onto a describing clause. Because the noun is indefinite, that clause attaches with no linking word like English 'that'.
