Arabic vocabulary
How to say “small” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فقد رأينا جماعة يسيرة على نحو ذلك،
Indeed, we saw a small group acting in this way.
يَسِيرَةً — small. This adjective trails 'group' and agrees with it — feminine, accusative, indefinite — 'small / few'. Agreement in case and gender is what ties it to its noun. So 'a small group'.
