Arabic vocabulary
How to say “weighty” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَهُوَ بَعْدَ هَذَا وَاللَّهِ لَهُ نَبَأٌ عَظِيمٌ وَخَطَرٌ جَلِيلٌ
And after this, by God, for him is a great report and a weighty, grave matter.
جَلِيلٌ — weighty. A describing word following its noun, marking that matter as solemn and weighty. Like other Arabic adjectives it trails the noun and matches its indefinite, subject-form ending, so it agrees with the 'matter' before it.
From: The Prophet's Marriage to Khadijah →OpenArabic teaches words like جَلِيلٌ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
