Arabic vocabulary
How to say “predominant” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وقبيحه قبيح وهو الأغلب،
And its ugliness is ugly, and it is predominant,
الْأَغْلَبُ — predominant. This is an elative — 'the most prevalent / the bulk' — made definite with 'the', acting as the predicate: the ugly is what predominates in poetry. The elative pattern compares it against the rest and finds it the larger share.
