How to say “cover” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ياعجبا من يُغطي عين ضوء الشَّمْس فِي نصف النَّهَار
How amazing is one who covers the eye of the sun's light at midday!
يُغَطِّي — he covers. The 'he' doing the covering is not written separately; it lives inside the verb's shape. The verb also sits in the doubled-middle pattern Arabic uses for deliberate, applied action, fitting the image of covering something up on purpose.
