How to say “secret” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وفي التعبير عن الأعمال بالسر لطيفة وهو أن الأعمال نتائج السرائر الباطنة
And there is a subtlety in expressing deeds in secrecy, as deeds are the results of hidden inner states.
بِالسِّرِّ — in secrecy. A preposition bi- fused onto the definite noun 'the secrecy', so 'in secrecy'. The bi- here marks the manner or wording chosen, taking the genitive; it frames the point that the deeds are spoken of under the term 'secret'.
