يُؤْكَلُbe eaten

Example sentences

• ليؤكل في الصيف البارد، وفي الشتاء الحار إدخال طعام على طعام آخر رديء

  Cold foods should be eaten in the summer, and hot foods in the winter; introducing food upon another food is bad.

  لِيُؤْكَلَ — should be eaten. This is li- 'so that / let it be' prefixed to a verb in the passive voice, 'be eaten'. The li- pushes the verb into its purpose-or-command shape, and the passive means the food is what gets eaten, not the eater, marked by the inner vowel pattern rather than a helper word.
