Arabic vocabulary
How to say “useful” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فيخرج كلامه كله نافعًا صالحًا،
so all his speech is beneficial and good,
نَافِعًا — beneficial. An accusative describing the state in which the speech comes out — 'comes out [being] beneficial'. This state-accusative (the tanwin) names the condition of the subject as the action happens, where English would say 'as beneficial'.
From: The Meaning of Fasting →OpenArabic teaches words like نَافِعٌ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
