أَصْغَرَ is how you say “youngest” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in real example sentences from classical texts below.
قَالَ فَدَعَا أَصْغَرَ بُنَيِّهِ
He said, then he called his youngest son.
أَصْغَرَ — youngest. A comparative-shaped adjective ('younger/youngest') used here as a superlative, the most-youngest of the group. It heads an 'of' pairing with the noun after it, so it takes definiteness from what it owns.
From: Sheba's Garden and Destruction →فَإِذَا اِجْتَمَعُوا أَمَرْتُ أَصْغَرَكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ فَلْيَغْفِلْ عَنْهُ
When they gather, I have commanded your youngest concerning a matter, so let him be unaware of it.
أَصْغَرَكُمْ — your youngest. A noun with the plural 'your' fixed to its end; here it is the one being commanded, so it takes the object-style ending. The attached 'your' addresses the listeners as a group, marking whose youngest is meant.
