Example sentences

• يبحثُ عن مساحاتِ الاتفاق ليجعلها أرضيةً للحوار، ثم يقتربُ من مواضعِ النزاع ببطءٍ وبينةٍ وهدوءٍ، كمن يفتح قفلًا دقيقًا لا كمن يكسر بابًا

  He looks for areas of agreement to make them a foundation for dialogue, then approaches the points of contention slowly, clearly, and calmly, like one opening a delicate lock, not like one breaking a door.

  دَقِيقًا — delicate. An adjective, 'fine / intricate,' on 'lock,' in the -a form to match it. The lock is DELICATE — it needs deftness, not force; that deftness is the point of the comparison.
