Arabic vocabulary
How to say “qualities” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
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.
From: On Reason and Temptation →OpenArabic teaches words like خِصَالٍ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
