Arabic vocabulary
How to say “say” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فيقول بعض الناس لبعض أبوكم آدم، ويأتونه فيقولون يا آدم أنت أبو البشر، خلقك الله بيده، ونفخ فيك من روحه، وأمر الملائكة، فسجدوا لك وأسكنك الجنة،
Some of the people will say to others: "Your father Adam," and they will go to him and say: "O Adam, you are the father of humanity. Allah created you with His hand, breathed into you of His spirit, commanded the angels, and they prostrated to you and placed you in Paradise."
فَيَقُولُونَ — and say. The connector fa- 'so/then' fused to a present-tense verb with the 'they' ending inside it. Fa- marks the saying as following straight from the going, and the subject is carried in the verb, so the word means 'so they say'.
From: The Prophet's Intercession →OpenArabic teaches words like يَقُولون through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
