Arabic vocabulary
فَاسِدَةٌ is how you say “corrupt” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
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.
