يَخْتَارُchoose
How to say “choose” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
الحمد لله الذي يختار من يشاء ويجتبي،
Praise be to Allah, who chooses whom He wills and elects.
يَخْتَارُ — he chooses. A present-tense verb with the doer 'He' built into its prefix, so no separate pronoun is needed. The present form casts the choosing as a continual, characteristic act rather than a one-time event.
