How to say “the gold” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَاطِيرِ الْمُقَنْطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ
People were made to find attractive the love of desires: women and sons, and the piled-up heaps of gold and silver.
الذَّهَبِ — the gold. Carries al- ('the') and is the object of the material preposition before it, so it takes the genitive ending. It names the first substance of the heaps. The definiteness treats gold as a known, specific category of wealth.
