Body Parts in Arabic: The Body

The Human Body

In schools, colleges, or medical schools, we all have learned about the human body (Jismu al-insan –       جسم الإنسان ) and the various human body parts (A’da’u jismi al-insan –       أعضاء جسم الإنسان ), and since most people start out to learn Arabic by memorizing as much vocabulary as possible, we decided that in this post we are going to learn some basic body parts in Arabic.

Body parts in Arabic, singular and plural forms

From head to toe, You will be frequently using these Arabic names of the human body parts.  Moreover, You could hear them in your daily conversations, therefore we suggest that you practice them a lot. Who knows they might come very handy when the time is right.

Singular: Part -‘Uduw (      عضو )
Plural: Parts – A’da’  (      أعضاء )

Arabic is a very rich language in its vocabulary and synonyms, so don’t be surprised if you hear people calling the same human body part with different names each time. for instance, the “body” may be either called “jism” (      جسم ) or “jasad” (      جسد ) or “badn” (      بَدن ). A dead body is called “juttah” (      جثة ), the body of a car is called “haykal” (      هيكل ) etc…
