Arabic vocabulary
How to say “two types” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَأَكْبَرُ الْكَبَائِرِ الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ تَعَالَى، وَهُوَ نَوْعَانِ
The greatest of the major sins is associating partners with Allah the Exalted, and it is of two types.
نَوْعَانِ — two types. A noun in the dual, 'two kinds'. This is a form English lacks: instead of adding a separate word for 'two', Arabic folds 'exactly two' into the noun's own ending, so the count is carried by the word's shape.
From: The Sin of Idolatry →OpenArabic teaches words like نَوْعَانِ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
