Arabic vocabulary
How to say “white” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فمن كان مطيعًا لله، خرج من قبره مسرورًا مستبشرًا، ووجهه أبيض نير
So whoever was obedient to Allah, he will emerge from his grave joyful and glad, with a bright, radiant face.
أَبْيَضُ — white. This is the predicate of the little 'his face is...' clause, an adjective meaning 'white', so it stands in the subject-style case to match 'his face'. Without 'the' it is indefinite; this color-word also has a special shape that limits its case ending.
