خصيتين
khuṣyatēnmedical, neutral
The neutral and medical Arabic word for "testicles" is خصيتين (khuṣyatēn), literally "two testicles". One is خصية (khuṣya).
Use this word with a doctor or in a health setting. Egyptians have many slang words for the same body part, but they are crude, so this page gives only the polite one.
Meaning: testicles (medical term) (noun)
How does it change in a sentence?
The ending -ēn marks the dual, which Arabic uses for things that come in pairs, so الخصيتين (el-khuṣyatēn) is "the two testicles".
Did you know?
- Arabic uses the dual ending for paired body parts, such as عينين (ʿēnēn) for eyes and إيدين (īdēn) for hands.
