Arabic vocabulary
خِصَالٍ is how you say “qualities” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
مَا يَتِمُّ عَقْلُ اِمْرِئٍ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِيهِ عَشَرُ خِصَالٍ
A person's intellect is not complete until he has ten qualities.
خِصَالٍ — qualities. The counted noun paired with 'ten', appearing in the genitive plural shape that this number range requires, and left indefinite. Arabic numerals from three to ten take their counted noun in this particular case-and-number form, so the word's ending is dictated by the number before it.
