Arabic vocabulary
بَحْرsea
How to say “sea” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
أطلقوا أنفسهم في أغراضها كالسوائب والبحر،
They released themselves into their desires like stray animals adrift at sea,
وَالْبَحْرِ — and the sea. The attached connector adds a second image to the comparison, and a coordinated noun keeps the same ending as the one it joins. So this word stays in the 'of' ending governed by the earlier comparison particle, extending 'strays' to 'strays and the sea'.
