يُكَابِدَهُcontend with him
How to say “contend with him” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُكَابِدَهُ
And he cannot contend with him.
يُكَابِدَهُ — contend with him. A present verb in the subjunctive because the 'an' before it demands that mood. It belongs to a pattern that often signals struggling or contending against someone, and a 'him' pronoun is glued to its end as the object. So this single word packs verb, mood-marking, and its object together.
