Arabic vocabulary
How to say “side” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَلَيْسَ بِشَاغِلٍ يَشْغَلُكَ عَنِ اللَّهِ كَنَفْسِكَ الَّتِي هِيَ بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْكَ
And nothing can distract you from Allah like your own self between your sides.
جَنْبَيْكَ — your sides. 'janb' = 'side'; the '-ay-' marks two (a dual, 'two sides'); '-ka' = 'your', so 'your two sides'.
From: Taming the Lower Self →OpenArabic teaches words like جنب through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
