أسَـد Explanation: Pronounced ASAD (both vowels are short, the first syllable has the primary stress, the second syllable has a secondary stress). There are several other terms for "lion," but this is the most common one. The name of Africa has been pronounced in a number of ways in Arabic. AFREEQA used to be common, until it was displaced by IFREEQIYA. Today, it is common to hear AFREEQIYA. I will use AFREEQIYA below, without in any way approving or disapproving any version. Based on the above, the phrase "The lion from Africa" may be translated in a number of ways. ASAD AFREEQIYA (literally, "Africa's lion" or "lion of Africa"). ASAD MIN AFREEQIYA (literally, "a lion from Africa"). ASAD AFREEQIY (literally, "African lion"). Other phrasing options are possible, depending on the surrounding text. Fuad Al-Mawrid |
