Arabic vocabulary
أَمَرَّيْنِ is how you say “the two matters” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا صَبْرَ لَهُ عَلَى وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الأَمَرَّيْنِ
Most of them have no patience for either of the two matters.
الأَمَرَّيْنِ — the two matters. This is the dual, Arabic's 'exactly two' form, which English must render with 'two'. The count is folded into the noun's ending rather than carried by a separate number word. It refers back to the two bitter matters set up earlier, and stands in the genitive as object of min.
