Arabic vocabulary
How to say “delay” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ولا يتخلف عن مؤاكلة الناس، ولا يتأخر عن إجابة الداعي إلى الطعام،
Nor did he avoid dining with people, nor delay in responding to an invitation to food,
يَتَأَخَّرُ — delay. This present-tense verb has its 'he' subject inside and, after the negator, denies an ongoing habit, 'he would not lag behind'. The plain present ending marks a general, repeated non-action.
