Arabic vocabulary
يَعْجِزَنِي is how you say “defeat me” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
أَوْ يَظُنُّ الَّذِي يُعَادِينِي أَنْ يَعْجِزَنِي؟
Or does the one who opposes me think he can defeat me?
يَعْجِزُنِي — defeat me. This verb sits in the subjunctive shape demanded by the 'that' before it, with -ni ('me') fused to its end as the object, so one word means 'defeat me' as a supposed outcome. The changed ending marks it as hypothetical, and the object pronoun is the speaker. So one word holds the verb, the aim-marking, and 'me'.
