Arabic vocabulary
How to say “advocate” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
إِحْدَاهَا أَنْ يَكُونَ الْقَهْرُ وَالْغَلْبَةُ لِدَاعِيِّ الدَّيْنِ
One of them is that coercion and dominance belong to the advocate of religion.
لِدَاعِيِّ — for the advocate. The li- prefix is the 'to/for' preposition marking possession here: it assigns the coercion and dominance to its object as their owner. It forces the genitive on the following noun and answers 'belong to whom?' in the clause.
From: Three States of the Heart →OpenArabic teaches words like دَاعِيِّ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
