Literal Translation
monkey / ape
Meaning & Usage
01
"monkey / ape / clown"
Monkey — calling someone subhuman through primate comparison. In the Quran, God turns Sabbath-breaking Jews into apes and pigs (Surah 2:65, 7:166), giving the monkey insult a specifically Quranic resonance that English 'monkey' lacks. Being called qird in Arabic doesn't just mean you're silly — it potentially invokes divine punishment for disobedience.
Examples in the Wild
بطل حركات يا قرد! (Battil harakaat ya qird! - Stop your antics, you monkey!) — Telling someone to stop goofing off.
