Arabic vocabulary
نُجُومٌ is how you say “stars” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وظهرت من التخوم كالنجوم الزهر،
And they appeared from the depths like shining stars,
النُّجُومِ — the stars. This noun carries 'the' to make it definite and takes the ending forced on it by the comparison particle attached before it. That ending is the signal that this word is the thing being likened to, not an independent actor in the sentence.
