Arabic vocabulary
How to say “various” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
والحرث مخضرًا ومصفرًا مختلف الألوان والأزهار،
And the tilled land, green and yellow, with various colors and flowers,
مُخْتَلِفَ — various. An active-participle describing word meaning 'varied / differing in', which heads a possessive pairing with the noun after it, 'varied in its colors'. Arabic builds 'differing in X' by setting the describing word directly before X, so this word links the land to the diversity named next.
