Arabic vocabulary
How to say “born” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وقال بعضهم فلعلهم الذين ولدوا في الإسلام، فلم يشركوا بالله شيئاً وذكروا أشياء
and some of them said: Perhaps they are those born in Islam who never associated anything with Allah – and they mentioned other things –
وُلِدُوا — they were born. This is a passive verb — 'were born' — built so the subject receives the action of being brought into the world. The '-u' carries 'they'. Arabic marks the passive inside the verb's vowels, not with a helper word.
