Arabic vocabulary
How to say “blameworthy” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
اعلم أن في كل طائفة من علماء هذه الأمة ما يذم ويعاب، فتجنبه
Know that in every group of scholars of this nation, there is what is blameworthy and disgraceful, so avoid it.
يُذَمُّ — is blameworthy. This is a passive present-tense verb, 'is blamed', where the doer is unnamed and the thing receives the action. Arabic forms the passive by changing the verb's internal vowels rather than adding a helper like English 'is', so the word itself signals that someone blames it without saying who.
From: When Recitation Breeds Pride →OpenArabic teaches words like يُذَمّ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
