Arabic vocabulary
زَيِّنَ is how you say “adorn” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
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.
