Arabic vocabulary
How to say “side” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وقال ﴿تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ﴾
And He said, 'Their sides shun their beds as they call upon their Lord in fear and hope, and from what We have provided them, they spend.'
جُنُوبُهُمْ — their sides. This noun with an attached possessive pronoun means 'their sides' and is the doer of the shunning verb before it. The verb came first and its subject after, in normal Arabic order; the owner pronoun points to the worshippers.
