Arabic vocabulary
How to say “to me” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قَالَ لِخَدِيجَةِ أَيُّ خَدِيجَةُ مَا لِيَ،
He said to Khadijah, "O Khadijah, what is the matter with me?"
لِيَ — to me. A preposition fused with 'me', one word for two, meaning 'to/for me' and forming the second half of 'what is the matter with me'. The attached pronoun marks the speaker as the one the trouble concerns.
From: The Night of Revelation and Consolation →OpenArabic teaches words like لِيَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
