Arabic vocabulary
How to say “burden” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وقال أبو الدرداء إني لأستجم نفسي ببعض الباطل كراهية أن أحمل عليها من لحق ما يكلها
And Abu al-Darda said, 'Indeed, I refresh myself with some idle talk, fearing that I might burden it with so much truth that it becomes weary.'
يُكِلُّهَا — burden it. A present-tense verb 'wearies it', with the attached -ha 'it' as its object pointing back to the soul; its doubled root gives the worn-out sense. So 'what wearies it' describes the burden.
