Arabic vocabulary
أَلْسِنَةُ is how you say “tongues” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَكَمْ مِنْ كَلِمَةٍ تَدُورُ عَلَى الْأَلْسِنِ مَثَلًا جَاءَ الْقُرْآنُ بِالْخَصِّ مِنْهَا وَأَحْسَنَ
And how many phrases circulate on the tongues as an example, which the Quran has refined and improved.
الْأَلْسِنَةِ — the tongues. This is 'the tongues', a definite plural with 'al-', here meaning people's speech. It takes the genitive ending because the preposition 'on' before it governs it. The plural is folded into the word's own shape. It names where the saying circulates.
