chamber in Arabic: غرفة (ghurfah) – meaning, pronunciation, examples

How to use it

غُرْفَةٌ is the common word for a room, a small enclosed space, or a specific chamber such as a courtroom. It is feminine; the plural is غُرَفٌ. Use it for any indoor compartment, not for technical terms like "chamber of a gun" which may need a more specific word.
