Arabic vocabulary
How to say “benefit” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ أَحْمَقَ لِكَيْ يَنْتَفِعَ بِالْعَيْشِ
He created the person foolish so that he might benefit from life.
يَنْتَفِعَ — might benefit. This is a present-tense verb pushed into the subjunctive by the preceding purpose particle, which is why its ending differs from the plain present. The subjunctive marks the benefiting as the intended goal, not an accomplished fact. Its subject 'he' is carried inside the verb.
