How to say “shirt” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
اَذهَبُوا بِقَميصِي هَذا فألقُوهُ عَلى وَجهِ أبِي
Take this shirt of mine and cast it over my father's face.
بِقَمِيصِي — with my shirt. The bi- here is the kind that means 'take along with', so the verb 'go' reaches 'my shirt' through it: 'go off with my shirt'. The preposition governs the noun, and the attached -i adds 'my', all fused into one word.
