Arabic vocabulary
How to say “corrupt” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فاسدة كان عمله تابعًا لسريرته لا اعتبار بصورته فتبدو سريرته على وجهه سوادا وظلمة وشينا
His deeds were corrupt, following his inner self; no regard was paid to his outward appearance, so his inner state appeared on his face as blackness, darkness, and ugliness.
فَاسِدَةٌ — corrupt. This is a predicate adjective belonging to the broken-off 'was' clause from the previous sentence: 'corrupt' is what the inner state was. Its feminine shape agrees with that feminine inner state across the sentence boundary, so reading it means carrying the missing copula over from before.
