Arabic vocabulary
How to say “become complete” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
مَا يَتِمُّ عَقْلُ اِمْرِئٍ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِيهِ عَشَرُ خِصَالٍ
A person's intellect is not complete until he has ten qualities.
يَتِمُّ — become complete. A present-tense verb meaning to reach fullness, carrying its third-person subject inside. With the negator before it, it states that the completion does not occur, and its subject 'intellect' follows it, since Arabic often puts the verb ahead of the doer. It is the core action the whole sentence turns on.
