بِمَ = “With What” Understanding This Arabic Question Word

In Arabic, بِمَ is made by combining two small words:

بِـ → with / by
مَا → what

Together:

بِـ + مَا = بِمَ
→ “With what?” / “By what?”

For example:

بِمَ تَكْتُبُ؟
→ What do you write with?

Once you learn how these small words combine, Arabic becomes much easier to break down.
