Questions and answers
Is "beauty" countable in Arabic?
Usually it is uncountable, so you say "جمال" without a plural. If you need to refer to several beautiful things, you can say "جمالٌ متعددٌ" or use a descriptive phrase.
Can I use "جمال" for a beautiful person?
Yes, but for a person you often add an adjective, e.g., "شخص جميل" (a beautiful person).
