Arabic vocabulary
How to say “the spying” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَإِنَّمَا يَصِحُّ لَهُ التَّلَصُّصُ فِي لَيْلِ الْجَهْلِ
And it is only justified for him to spy in the night of ignorance.
الْتَلَصُّصُ — the spying. A verbal noun, the name of an action used as a noun, made definite by 'al-' and standing as the real subject of 'is justified'. Arabic readily turns a whole action into a single noun this way.
From: Finding the Prophet's Way →OpenArabic teaches words like التَّلَصُّصُ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
