Arabic vocabulary
How to say “you are” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
إِنَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ يَصُدُّكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَعَنْ الصَّلَاةِ فَهَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُنْتَهُونَ ؟ ،
This hadith prevents you from remembering God and from prayer; will you stop?
أَنْتُمْ — you. A standalone plural 'you' pronoun, fronted as the subject of the question for emphasis on the addressees. Arabic usually folds 'you' into the verb, so spelling it out as a separate word stresses 'you, specifically', the people asked whether they will stop.
From: Sincerity in Prophetic Knowledge →وَلَا تَتَغَيَّرُوا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ
And do not turn against him.
أَنْتُمْ — you (plural). A standalone 'you all' pronoun added for stress, even though the verb already names its subject. Arabic drops in a separate pronoun like this to drive the point home, a 'you, you yourselves'.
From: Sheba's Garden and Destruction →فيقول الناس ألا ترون إلى ما أنتم فيه إلى ما بلغكم، ألا تنظرون من يشفع لكم إلى ربكم؟
Then the people will say: "Do you not see the state we are in and what has come upon us? Will you not look for someone to intercede with your Lord for us?"
أَنْتُمْ — you are. A standalone 'you (plural)' pronoun, the subject inside the relative clause. Spelling it out as a separate word, rather than burying it in a verb, frames the bare 'you are' statement that the next word locates.
From: The Prophet's Intercession →OpenArabic teaches words like أَنْتُمْ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
