Arabic vocabulary
How to say “variability” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فإن الأذن مجاجة والقلب ذو تقلب
For the ear grows weary and the heart is fickle.
تَقَلُّبٍ — fickle. This noun is owned by the 'possessor of' word just before it, so the two form a tight possessive pairing: the heart is the owner of this quality. Sitting as the owned second term, it takes the genitive ending, the case Arabic always assigns to the second noun in such a back-to-back 'of' link.
