Arabic vocabulary
How to say “sustaining” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قال أبقراط استدامة الصحبة بعب الماء، ويترك الامتلاء من الطعام والشراب
Hippocrates said that maintaining health involves drinking water and avoiding fullness from food and drink.
إِستِدامَةُ — maintaining. This is the front half of 'maintaining of health', a possessive pairing with no word for 'of', and it acts as the subject of the saying. As the owned thing in front it draws its definiteness from the owner that follows.
