Arabic vocabulary
تَسْتَحِيُ is how you say “are ashamed” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَقُلْتُ أَمَا تَسْتَحِيُ مِنَ النَّاسِ
So I said, "Aren't you ashamed of the people?"
تَسْتَحِيُ — ashamed. A present-tense verb of feeling shame carrying its 'you' subject inside its prefix, with the subject pronoun unspoken because the verb already holds it. Paired with the rhetorical opener it forms 'are you not ashamed'. It leads into the 'of the people' phrase naming before whom shame is due.
