زَيِّنَadorn

Example sentences

• وَلَوْ شِئْتُ أَنْ أُزَيِّنَكُما مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ،

  And if I wished, I could adorn you both with the adornments of this world,

  أُزَيِّنَكُما — I adorn you both. This verb is built on a pattern meaning to make-adorned, and its shape carries first-person 'I' as the doer; the subjunctive ending is triggered by the 'to' particle before it. Glued onto its end is a dual object pronoun, 'you two'. So one word holds the verb, the 'I', the aim-marking ending, and the pair being adorned.
