38 as a compound two-part number
38 is built from a unit and a ten joined by the Arabic conjunction و. The default result is ثمانية وثلاثون, which is the form most learners need when they ask how to write 38 in Arabic words.
In the standalone form, the unit normally appears before the tens part. Case can affect the tens ending, and noun gender can affect the unit in counted-noun phrases. A useful check is to read the number by its Arabic structure first, then decide whether the surrounding sentence needs a masculine, feminine, nominative, accusative, or genitive form.
Do not reverse the order into a direct English-style tens-plus-unit phrase.
