Arabic vocabulary
فَضْلَةَ is how you say “remainder” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَشَرِبَ الْفَضْلَةَ
And he drank the remainder.
الْفَضْلَةَ — the remainder. A noun marked with 'the' and bearing the object ending, so it is a known, specific thing that the verb acts upon. The definiteness points back to something already in view in the scene, treating it as the understood leftover rather than introducing it fresh. That backward reach is what the 'the' is doing here.
