Arabic vocabulary
How to say “resistance” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
إذا ثَقُل الطريق، فتذكر أنّ التعب علامة حياة، وأن نور الهداية يظهر في مواضع المقاومة
If the path becomes heavy, remember that fatigue is a sign of life, and that the light of guidance appears in places of resistance.
الْمُقَاوَمَةِ — of resistance. 'al-' = 'the'; 'muqawama' = 'resistance'; the 'of' word, so 'of resistance'.
From: Small Daily Habits →فقاوم الشهوة مقاومة الفطن لا الغبي،
He resisted desire with the wisdom of the intelligent, not the ignorant.
مُقَاوَمَةَ — with resistance. This noun echoes the verb's own root to intensify it, an inner-object construction meaning roughly 'resisted with the resistance of'. It opens a possessive pairing with the next word, 'the resistance of the intelligent', set side by side with no word for 'of', and carries the -a ending as that inner object.
