Arabic vocabulary
How to say “their hands” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قَالَ هُمْ البَرِيئَةُ أَيْدِيُهُمْ،
He said: their hands are innocent.
أَيْدِيُهُمْ — their hands. This is a plural noun carrying an owner-ending meaning 'their', so one word equals 'their hands', and it is what the predicate 'innocent' really describes. The attached possessor reaches back to the people just named. Arabic glues the owner onto the noun rather than using a separate word.
