يَكْسِرُbreak

Example sentences

• يبحثُ عن مساحاتِ الاتفاق ليجعلها أرضيةً للحوار، ثم يقتربُ من مواضعِ النزاع ببطءٍ وبينةٍ وهدوءٍ، كمن يفتح قفلًا دقيقًا لا كمن يكسر بابًا

  He looks for areas of agreement to make them a foundation for dialogue, then approaches the points of contention slowly, clearly, and calmly, like one opening a delicate lock, not like one breaking a door.

  يَكْسِرُ — he breaks. 'breaks / smashes,' the verb of the rejected simile. Its object, 'a door,' follows; brute force — the opposite of the patient unlocking. The disputant should unlock, not break down.
