How to say “choose” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَإِنَّ الأَحْمَقَ يُخَيِّرُ نَفْسَهُ فِي الأَخْلاقِ فَمَا أَحَبَّتْ مِنْهَا أَحَبَّ وَمَا كَرِهَتْ مِنْهَا كَرِهَ
And indeed, the foolish lets his soul choose in matters of conduct, so what it likes, he likes, and what it dislikes, he dislikes.
يُخَيِّرُ — lets choose. Present-tense verb 'yukhayyiru' = 'he gives a choice to'; subject 'he' is built in.
