مِلْحَsalt in Arabic

Example sentences

• لَا يُحِبُّ الْمِلْحَ إِلَّا ذُكْرَانِ الرِّجَالِ

  Only men like salt.

  الْمِلْحَ — the salt. The al- makes this definite, 'the' salt, the specific known thing. It is the receiver-of-the-action of 'like', so it wears the accusative object ending, marking it as what is liked.
