أفضلbetter

Example sentences

• فقال ألا أعلمكم شيئًا تدركون به من سبقكم، وتسبقون به من بعدكم، ولا يكون أحد أفضل منكم إلا من صنع مثل ما صنعتم؟

  He said: 'Shall I not teach you something by which you will catch up with those who have surpassed you, and you will surpass those after you, and no one will be better than you except those who do as you do?'

  أَفْضَلَ — better. This is the predicate of 'will be', in the accusative — an elative 'better / more excellent'. It belongs to the no-nunation 'diptote' class, so its ending stays bare. The accusative marks it as the 'be'-verb's predicate: no one more excellent than you.
