Arabic vocabulary
How to say “your two eyes” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قَالَ عَيْنَيْكَ أَفْقِئْهُمَا أَوْ جَمِيعَ مَا تَمْلِكُ
He said, "Gouge out your two eyes, or everything you own."
عَيْنَيْك — your two eyes. This is the dual, Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' form, here 'two eyes', with the possessive '-ka' (your) attached. Where English needs the extra word 'two', Arabic folds the count into the noun's ending, then hangs the owner on the end. So one word says 'your two eyes'.
