بريء 30秒で
- Means 'innocent' or 'not guilty'.
- Used in legal contexts and for describing pure character.
- Adjective, must agree with the noun.
- Opposite of guilty (مذنب).
The Arabic word بريء (pronounced 'baree' with a rolled 'r') is an adjective that means 'innocent' or 'not guilty.' It is used to describe someone who has not committed a crime or offense, or who is free from blame or wrongdoing. This word carries a strong sense of purity and freedom from guilt.
In legal contexts, بريء is fundamental. When a court declares someone بريء, it means they have been found not guilty of the charges brought against them. This is a significant verdict that restores their freedom and reputation.
Beyond the courtroom, بريء can describe someone who is naive, simple, or guileless. For example, a child might be described as بريء if they are unaware of the complexities or dangers of the world, or if they act with genuine, unpretentious kindness. It can also refer to something that is harmless or not intended to cause trouble, like an 'innocent' remark.
The opposite of بريء is 'guilty' (مذنب - mudhnib) or 'culpable.' When someone is accused, they are not yet بريء in the eyes of the accuser, but a verdict of بريء clears them completely.
Consider the feeling of relief when a wrongly accused person is finally declared بريء. It signifies the restoration of justice and the acknowledgment of their untainted character. The word emphasizes a state of being free from any stain of guilt or wrongdoing, whether in a legal, moral, or social sense.
- Legal Context
- In law, بريء means 'not guilty.' A defendant is presumed بريء until proven guilty.
- Social Context
- Describes someone who is naive, simple, or lacking malice. It can also describe an action or statement as harmless.
- Moral Context
- Refers to a person's pure conscience and freedom from sin or moral fault.
The judge declared the accused بريء.
Using بريء correctly involves understanding its grammatical form and the context in which it is applied. As an adjective, it must agree with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and definiteness. When modifying a definite noun (e.g., 'the innocent man'), it will also be definite. When modifying an indefinite noun (e.g., 'an innocent man'), it will be indefinite.
In legal settings, the phrase 'not guilty' is directly translated to بريء. For example, 'He was found بريء' translates to 'تمت تبرئته' (tummat tabri'atuhu) or more directly, 'هو بريء' (huwa baree').
When describing a person's character as naive or simple, بريء conveys a sense of unspoiled nature. For instance, 'She has an بريء heart' (قلبها بريء - qalbuhā baree') suggests a kind and uncorrupted spirit. Similarly, a child's actions might be described as بريء if they are innocent and harmless.
The word can also be used to describe an action or statement that is not intended to cause harm. For example, 'It was an بريء question' (كان سؤالاً بريئاً - kāna su'ālan baree'an) implies that the question was asked without any ulterior motive or malicious intent.
When speaking about a group of people, the plural form 'أبرياء' (abriyaa') is used. For example, 'The innocent victims' would be 'الضحايا الأبرياء' (al-ḍaḥāyā al-abriyaa').
Pay attention to the context. While بريء often implies a lack of guilt, it can also suggest a lack of worldly experience or sophistication. Understanding the surrounding words and the situation will help you interpret its precise meaning.
- Agreement
- Must agree in gender, number, and definiteness with the noun. Masculine singular: بريء. Feminine singular: بريئة (baree'ah). Plural: أبرياء (abriyaa').
- Legal Usage
- Commonly used in courtrooms to declare someone not guilty. Example: 'He is innocent.' (هو بريء).
- Character Description
- Used to describe someone as naive, pure-hearted, or lacking guile. Example: 'She has an innocent soul.' (روحها بريئة).
- Harmless Intent
- Can describe an action, question, or statement as having no malicious intent. Example: 'It was an innocent question.' (سؤال بريء).
The child played with an innocent smile.
You will encounter the word بريء in a variety of settings, reflecting its broad applicability. The most formal and critical use is in legal proceedings. News reports about court cases, trials, and verdicts frequently use بريء to state when someone has been found not guilty. For example, a news headline might read: 'المتهم بريء' (Al-mutaham baree' - The accused is innocent).
In everyday conversations, especially when discussing fairness or justice, people might use بريء. If someone is wrongly blamed for something, a friend might defend them by saying, 'هو بريء!' (Huwa baree'! - He is innocent!). This usage emphasizes their lack of fault.
The word is also common when describing children. Parents and caregivers often use بريء to highlight the pure, uncorrupted nature of children. 'الأطفال أبرياء' (Al-atfaal abriyaa' - Children are innocent) is a common sentiment. You might hear someone say a child has an 'innocent face' (وجه بريء - wajh baree').
In literature and storytelling, بريء is used to characterize individuals or even situations. A naive protagonist in a novel might be described as بريء, highlighting their lack of experience with the harsh realities of the world. A plot twist might reveal that a seemingly guilty character was actually بريء all along.
You might also hear بريء used in more colloquial contexts to describe something as harmless or well-intentioned. For instance, if someone makes a clumsy mistake, you might hear a lighthearted comment like, 'It was just an innocent mistake' (كان مجرد خطأ بريء - kāna mujarrad khaṭa' baree').
Religious and philosophical discussions might also employ بريء when talking about concepts like original sin or the purity of soul.
- Legal News & Courtrooms
- Hear it in reports of trials, verdicts, and legal judgments. Example: 'The court found him innocent.' (وجدت المحكمة أنه بريء).
- Conversations about Fairness
- Used when discussing accusations, blame, or vindication. Example: 'Don't worry, she is innocent.' (لا تقلق، هي بريئة).
- Discussions about Children
- Commonly used to describe the pure and uncorrupted nature of children. Example: 'Children's hearts are innocent.' (قلوب الأطفال بريئة).
- Literature and Media
- Found in novels, films, and plays to describe characters or situations. Example: 'He was a naive and innocent young man.' (كان شاباً ساذجاً وبريئاً).
- Informal Remarks
- Sometimes used lightly to describe something as harmless or unintentional. Example: 'It was just an innocent mistake.' (مجرد خطأ بريء).
The child's innocent question surprised the teacher.
One of the most common mistakes learners make with بريء is failing to observe proper grammatical agreement. Arabic adjectives must match the noun they describe in gender, number, and definiteness. Forgetting this can lead to misunderstandings or sound unnatural to native speakers.
For instance, saying 'رجل بريئة' (rajul baree'ah) instead of 'رجل بريء' (rajul baree') for 'an innocent man' is a gender agreement error. Similarly, using the singular form for a plural noun, like 'رجال بريء' (rijaal baree') instead of 'رجال أبرياء' (rijaal abriyaa'), is a number agreement mistake.
Another pitfall is confusing بريء with words that might seem similar in English but have different connotations in Arabic. For example, while 'innocent' can sometimes imply 'harmless,' directly translating 'harmless' might sometimes be better served by other Arabic words depending on the exact nuance. بريء often carries a stronger sense of moral purity or legal acquittal.
Learners might also overuse بريء in situations where a more specific word would be appropriate. For example, instead of saying someone is innocent of a specific crime, they might use it in a context where 'not guilty' is implied but the nuance of 'innocent' (as in pure) isn't quite right. It's important to consider the context: is it a legal acquittal, a description of a naive personality, or a statement of harmlessness?
Pronunciation can also be a challenge. The letter 'ر' (raa') in بريء is often a rolled 'r' sound, which can be difficult for non-native speakers. Mispronouncing this can slightly alter the word's sound.
Finally, some learners might struggle with the definiteness. If the noun is definite ('the innocent man'), the adjective should also be definite ('الرجل البريء' - al-rajul al-baree'). Failing to add the definite article 'ال' (al-) to the adjective when it modifies a definite noun is a common grammatical slip.
- Grammatical Agreement
- Forgetting to match gender (masculine/feminine), number (singular/plural), and definiteness (definite/indefinite) with the noun. Example: Incorrect: 'امرأة بريء' (imra'ah baree'). Correct: 'امرأة بريئة' (imra'ah baree'ah).
- Contextual Nuance
- Using بريء when a more specific term for 'harmless,' 'naive,' or 'guileless' might be more appropriate. Consider the precise meaning intended.
- Pronunciation
- Difficulty with the rolled 'r' sound. Ensure the pronunciation is clear and distinct.
- Definiteness
- Not adding the definite article 'ال' (al-) to the adjective when it modifies a definite noun. Example: Incorrect: 'الرجل بريء' (al-rajul baree'). Correct: 'الرجل البريء' (al-rajul al-baree').
A student incorrectly said 'the innocent children' as 'الأطفال بريء' instead of 'الأطفال الأبرياء'.
بريء (baree') is a versatile word, but sometimes other Arabic words can convey similar or related meanings, offering more specific nuances.
One close synonym is 'سليم' (saleem), which means 'sound,' 'safe,' or 'unharmed.' While بريء focuses on the absence of guilt or wrongdoing, 'سليم' emphasizes a state of being intact and free from damage or defect. For example, 'The child is safe' could be 'الطفل سليم' (al-ṭifl saleem), implying he is not injured or in danger, which is different from being legally innocent.
Another related term is 'ساذج' (saadhij), meaning 'naive' or 'gullible.' A person described as بريء might also be 'ساذج,' but 'ساذج' specifically points to a lack of experience, wisdom, or discernment, making them easily tricked. A child can be both بريء and ساذج, but an adult might be ساذج without necessarily being بريء in a moral sense.
For 'not guilty' in a legal context, the verb 'برّأ' (barra'a) is the root, meaning 'to acquit.' The noun form is 'تبرئة' (tabri'ah), meaning 'acquittal.' So, while بريء describes the state of being innocent, 'برّأ' describes the action of declaring someone innocent.
In certain contexts, 'غير مذنب' (ghayr mudhnib) can be used as a direct translation for 'not guilty,' which is very similar to بريء in legal settings. However, بريء is more common and carries a stronger sense of inherent innocence.
When referring to something harmless or without malicious intent, 'غير مؤذٍ' (ghayr mu'dhin) meaning 'harmless' or 'not harmful' might be used. For example, 'an innocent remark' could be translated as 'تعليق بريء' (ta'leeq baree') or 'تعليق غير مؤذٍ' (ta'leeq ghayr mu'dhin). The former emphasizes the lack of ill will, while the latter emphasizes the lack of causing harm.
Understanding these distinctions allows for more precise and nuanced communication in Arabic.

Master Adjective Agreement
Always remember that بريء is an adjective. It must match the noun it describes in gender (masculine/feminine), number (singular/plural), and definiteness (definite/indefinite). Forgetting this is a common mistake that can lead to unnatural-sounding sentences.
Roll Your 'R's
The Arabic 'ر' (raa') is often a rolled 'r' sound. Practicing this sound in بريء will significantly improve your pronunciation and make the word sound more natural to native speakers. Listen to audio examples and practice saying it aloud.
Beyond Legal Meanings
Don't limit بريء to just legal contexts. It's a valuable word to describe character, intentions, and even the harmlessness of an action or statement. Using it in these varied contexts will enrich your Arabic vocabulary.
Connect to Root Meanings
The root ب-ر-ء relates to being free from or clear of something. Thinking of بريء as being 'free from blame' or 'clear of guilt' can aid memorization. This connection to its etymology reinforces the core meaning.
Noun Forms Matter
Be aware of the noun forms derived from the same root, such as براءة (bara'ah - innocence) and تبرئة (tabri'ah - acquittal). Understanding these related words will deepen your comprehension and usage of the concept of innocence.
Cultural Significance
In Arab cultures, innocence, especially that of children, is highly revered. Recognizing this cultural value can help you understand why بريء is used frequently and with positive connotations in many contexts.
Active Recall
Instead of just reading definitions, actively try to create your own sentences using بريء. The more you use it in practice, the more natural it will become.
Distinguish from Similar Words
Learn the subtle differences between بريء and words like ساذج (naive) or سليم (safe/sound). This will help you choose the most precise word for your intended meaning.
Listen and Repeat
Find audio recordings of native Arabic speakers saying بريء. Listen carefully to the intonation and the pronunciation of each letter, then repeat it multiple times. This auditory feedback is crucial for accurate pronunciation.

語源
The word بريء comes from the Arabic root ب-ر-أ (b-r-'). This root is associated with concepts of being free from, being clear of, and being created or originating from something.
元の意味： The root ب-ر-ء signifies freeing oneself from something, being clear of it, or creating something new and distinct. In the context of 'بريء,' it means being free from blame or guilt, being clear of wrongdoing.
Semitic文化的な背景
When discussing legal matters, using بريء is appropriate. However, when describing a person as naive, ensure it's done respectfully and not condescendingly. The term implies a lack of guile, which can be positive but also suggests vulnerability.
In English-speaking cultures, 'innocent' also carries legal, moral, and naive connotations, similar to Arabic. The phrase 'innocent until proven guilty' is a fundamental legal principle.

As an adjective, بريء must agree with the noun it describes. The masculine singular is بريء (baree'). The feminine singular is بريئة (baree'ah). The plural form is أبرياء (abriyaa'). For example, 'an innocent boy' is ولد بريء (walad baree'), and 'an innocent girl' is بنت بريئة (bint baree'ah), while 'innocent children' are أطفال أبرياء (atfaal abriyaa').
Yes, بريء can be used to describe actions, statements, or even objects that are harmless or not intended to cause trouble. For instance, 'a question' (سؤال) can be بريئاً (baree'an), meaning it was asked without malicious intent.

The Arabic word for 'patent' is براءة اختراع (bara'at ikhtiraa'). Here, 'براءة' is the noun form derived from the same root as بريء, meaning 'freedom' or 'clearance.' So, a patent is literally a 'freedom of invention,' granting exclusive rights to the inventor.
In law, بريء is used to declare someone not guilty of a crime. The phrase 'حكم بالبراءة' (ḥukm bil-barā'ah) means 'a verdict of innocence' or 'acquittal.' The legal principle 'presumption of innocence' is 'افتراض البراءة' (iftirāḍ al-barā'ah).
Yes, it can describe abstract concepts. For example, 'نوايا بريئة' (nawāyā barī'ah) means 'innocent intentions,' and 'براءة الطفولة' (barā'at al-ṭufūlah) refers to 'childhood innocence.' It can also describe the quality of a language or statement as being pure or uncorrupted.
