Arabic vocabulary
How to say “these two” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قَالَ فَخُذْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِحْدَى رَاحِلَتَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ
He said, "By my father, O Messenger of Allah, take one of my two mounts."
هَاتَيْنِ — these two. A pointing word in its feminine dual shape, 'these two', made to agree with the two feminine mounts it singles out. Arabic carries 'exactly two' inside the demonstrative's form, so the count of two is in the word's shape, not a separate number.
