How to say “weight” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
السرّ أن الثِّقَال في الميزان من طبيعة الحقّ؛ فهو ثابتٌ مُحكَم، والباطل خفيفٌ مُتلاشي، وإن بدا ضخمًا في أعين الناس
The secret is that the weight in the balance stems from the nature of truth; it is firm and solid, while falsehood is light and vanishing, even if it appears large in people's eyes.
الثِّقَالَ — the weight. 'the heaviness', accusative because 'anna' puts its subject in that case — 'that the weight...'. So the ending is driven by 'anna'.
