How to say “declare” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
النيةُ لا تُعلَنُ للناس بقدر ما تُدرَّبُ في السرّ؛
Intention is not declared to people as much as it is cultivated in secret.
تُعْلَنُ — is declared. A passive verb, 'is announced / made public,' doer unnamed, feminine to agree with 'intention.' Negated: intention is NOT to be broadcast — as the balance with 'cultivated in secret' next makes clear.
