Example sentence
أَن رجلا كَانَ يُسمى حمارا
A man was called "Himar" (Donkey).
يُسَمَّى he was called
This is the passive form of a present-tense verb: the man receives the naming rather than doing it, someone calls him. Arabic marks the passive not with a helper word like English 'was' but by changing the vowels inside the verb, so it looks close to its active twin but reverses the roles.
The English is machine-translated.
