Arabic vocabulary
How to say “who” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
الحمد لله الذي ساق سحاب الشهوة برعد هواء مرجوز،
Praise be to God, who drove the clouds of desire with the thunder of a turbulent wind.
الَّذِي — who. This is a relative pronoun, 'who / the one who', which opens a clause describing God and ties it back to the name just mentioned. Arabic uses it to attach a whole describing sentence onto a definite noun, so everything after it is the description, not a new statement.
From: God's Promise of New Life →OpenArabic teaches words like الذِي through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
