لَطِيفَةٌsubtle point

Example sentences

• وفي التعبير عن الأعمال بالسر لطيفة وهو أن الأعمال نتائج السرائر الباطنة

  And there is a subtle point in describing deeds as secret: deeds are the results of inward states.

  لَطِيفَةٌ — a subtle point. This noun is the delayed subject of the fronted 'in describing... there is...' frame, and its indefinite, base nominative shape is what marks it as that subject. Arabic frequently fronts a prepositional phrase and leaves the real subject, here 'a subtle point', to land afterward as new information.
