Arabic vocabulary
How to say “be reciprocated” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَرَبَّ نَظْرَةٌ لَمْ تَنَاظَرْ
Many a glance was not reciprocated.
تَنَاظَرْ — be reciprocated. A verb built on a mutual pattern, where two sides do the action to each other, so it means 'be exchanged/returned'. It sits in the clipped form the negator forces, and that negator throws its sense to the past, giving 'was not returned'. So the glance went one way only.
