Arabic vocabulary
ثَمَن is how you say “price” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
قال لأني تصدقت بعشرة آلاف درهم، فثمنها دار في الجنة
He said: Because I gave charity of ten thousand dirhams; the price of it is a house in Paradise.
فَثَمَنُهَا — so the price of it. Three things ride on this one word: fa- 'so/therefore' tying it to the reasoning, the noun 'price', and the attached -ha 'its'. That -ha reaches back to the house mentioned earlier, telling you whose price this is. Tracking what an attached pronoun points to is part of reading Arabic.
