How to say “shade” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
فَاضْطَجَعَ فِي ظِلِّهَا
Then he lay down in its shade.
ظِلِّهَا — its shade. This noun is fused with an attached feminine pronoun 'its', pointing back to the tree, so one word means 'its shade'. It sits in the genitive as the object of the preceding 'in', and the feminine suffix correctly tracks the tree as the owner.
