poor people, the destitute class; weak, feeble (adj.)
2. weak, feeble (adj.) — An adjectival use describing physical or qualitative weakness/feebleness rather than economic poverty, with distinct multilingual rendering: eng 'weak,' spa 'pobres' (overlapping with poverty sense in Spanish), arb 'ضَعِيفَاتٌ' (weak, feminine plural, distinct from فُقَرَاء poverty), kor '약한' (weak, not 가난한 poor), swa 'dhaifu' (weak/feeble, distinct from maskini poor), hin 'कमजोर' (weak). The Arabic and Korean translations particularly confirm a different semantic domain from economic poverty. 1×
