Arabic vocabulary
How to say “praises” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَأَحْمَدُ رَبَّيَّ بِمَحَامِدٍ عَلَّمَنِيهَا،
So I praise my Lord with praises He taught me.
بِمَحَامِدٍ — with praises. The prefix bi- marks means or accompaniment, 'with', and forces the following plural noun into the 'of' form. The noun is built by reshaping its singular internally rather than just adding an ending. So the phrase states what the praising is done with, the instruments of praise, a relative clause then describing them.
From: Intercession on Judgment Day →OpenArabic teaches words like مَحَامِدٌ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
