Arabic vocabulary
How to say “become joyful” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ومن تملى من الطعام شيئا، غذا بدنه، وأشرت نفسه، وقسا قلبه
Whoever fills himself with food nourishes his body but makes his soul arrogant and hardens his heart.
نَفْسُهُ — his soul. This is 'his soul', the subject of the feminine verb before it, which is why that verb is feminine, with the attached 'his' pointing to the same person. It is the thing made arrogant.
