Arabic vocabulary
How to say “they count” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَأَشَافَهُ بِتَصْنِيفِي خَلْقًا لَا يَحْصُونَ مَا خَلَقُوا بَعْدُ،
And by my written works I taught orally a multitude so vast that they cannot count what they later produced.
يَحْصُونَ — they count. A present-tense verb whose 'they' subject is shown by its plural ending — no separate pronoun is needed. It is the action denied by the 'not' before it, describing a group too large to be counted.
From: A Life of Reading and Writing →OpenArabic teaches words like يَحْصُونَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
