Arabic vocabulary
How to say “there” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فثمة طريق قد بقي لا أكتمه عنك ، وهو كثرة الدعاء ،
Then there remains a path I do not hide from you, which is abundant supplication,
فَثَمَّةَ — then there. This is the bound fa- 'then' plus thamma 'there (exists)', a word that asserts existence: 'then there is'. The fa- links to what precedes, and thamma points to a place or fact, here introducing that a path still remains; it sets up an existence statement with no verb 'is'.
From: True Devotion →OpenArabic teaches words like ثَمَّة through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
