اِخْتَارَchoose

Example sentences

• من يُحسِن الصمتَ لا يهرب من الحوار، بل يختار لحظتَه كي لا تُفسِدَ العجلةُ ما يُصلِحه البيان

  He who masters silence does not flee dialogue, but chooses his moment so that haste does not spoil what clarity mends.

  يَخْتَارُ — he chooses. A Form VIII verb, 'chooses / selects' — the positive counterpart to 'flee.' Its object, 'his moment,' follows; he does not dodge talk but TIMES it well.
