  • Parts of the Body in Arabic: 5 Things You Need to Know

    1. Parts of the body that come in pairs are in the dual form when referring to both; not in the plural (this sometimes happens in spoken Arabic for eyes 3uyuun عيون , or cheeks خدود  khuduud, for example)

    2. Short vowel declensions are usually only visible in fully-voweled texts such as Koranic verses, or children’s books or poetry. Long suffixes, however, always must be written, hence the different dual forms below.

    3. The word for fingers(aSaabi3 أصابع ) is used for both fingers and toes. You just need to specify.

    4. The word for chin(thaqn ذقن ) is used for beard in some dialects.

    5. Like in English, the word for tongue (lisaan لسان ) also means language.

    Bonus tip: when a dual noun is followed by a noun or a pronoun, the nuun is removed: examples:

    أجريت العملية في قدمي الولد

    نظرت الطبيبة في عينيه

    Enter any of these in your search engine to hear parts of the body in songs:

    أغنية أغدا ألقاك لأم كلثوم + ترجمة
