How to say “strays” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
أطلقوا أنفسهم في أغراضها كالسوائب والبحر،
They released themselves into their desires like stray animals adrift at sea,
كَالسَّوَائِبِ — like the strays. A one-letter comparison particle is fused to the front, likening them to stray animals, and acting like a preposition it pulls the noun into the 'of' ending. The 'the' marks the strays as the specific image being compared to.
