Arabic vocabulary
How to say “self” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
أَيُّ يَرُدُّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ إِلَى أَنفُسِكَ
Or will Satan turn you back to your self?
أَنفُسِكَ — your self. A plural noun, 'selves', with a 'your' fused on the end, here used reflexively to mean 'your own self'. Governed by the preceding 'to', it takes the 'of' (genitive) ending, and the suffix supplies the owner without a separate word.
From: Charity and Stinginess →OpenArabic teaches words like أَنفُسِ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
