Arabic vocabulary
How to say “prices” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَأَخَذَ كُتُبَهُ، وَبَاعَهَا بِأَبْخَسِ الأَثْمَانِ
So he took his books and sold them at the lowest prices.
الأَثْمَانِ — the prices. This definite plural noun is the owning second half of the 'cheapest of ...' pairing, so it sits in the 'of' (genitive) form. It names the field the superlative ranks within. Its 'the' makes the whole price phrase definite, completing 'the lowest of the prices'.
