Arabic vocabulary
How to say “youngest” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
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.
