Arabic vocabulary
How to say “avoid” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
اعلم أن في كل طائفة من علماء هذه الأمة ما يذم ويعاب، فتجنبه
Know that in every group of scholars of this nation, there is what is blameworthy and disgraceful, so avoid it.
فَتَجَنَّبْهُ — so avoid it. This couples the result-marker 'so' with a command-form verb, 'avoid', on a reflexive pattern, with the object 'it' attached. The reflexive shape carries 'keep yourself away from', and the suffix points back to the blameworthy thing just mentioned.
