Arabic vocabulary
How to say “weak” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
الحمد لله الذي أنشأ الآدمي من ماء مهين ضعيف وقوى،
Praise be to Allah, who created man from a weak and humble fluid and strengthened him.
ضَعِيفٍ — weak. A second describing word for the same noun, again indefinite and in the matching 'of' ending. Arabic lets several adjectives stack after a noun, each agreeing in state, so this adds 'weak' alongside 'humble' as a further quality of the fluid.
