How to say “third” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَأَخَذَنِي فَغَطَّنِي الثَّالِثَةَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ مِنِّي الْجُهْدُ
So he seized me and pressed me a third time until I reached exhaustion.
الثَّالِثَةَ — the third time. An ordinal 'third' carrying the 'the' marker, in its feminine form to agree with an understood feminine 'time'; its accusative ending turns it into an adverb, 'the third time'. So it counts the occurrence rather than naming an object.
