Arabic vocabulary
How to say “their misery” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَهَؤُلاءِ هُمْ الَّذِينَ غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ شَقْوَتُهُمْ
And these are the people whose misery overcame them.
شَقْوَتُهُمْ — their misery. A feminine noun with -hum ('their') fused to its end, standing as the delayed subject of the verb earlier; the feminine verb agrees with it. The attached pronoun makes it 'their misery', so the thing that overcame them is named only now, after the verb.
