How to say “saltiness” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
والمالح يجفف البدن ويهزله
Saltiness dries the body and makes it emaciated.
الْمَالِحُ — saltiness. The al- makes this definite, 'the salty', and it opens the sentence as the topic, with the comment following. Here a quality-word stands in for the food type itself, and the definiteness frames it as the known thing being described.
