Arabic vocabulary
يُدَبِّرْ is how you say “direct” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فسبحان مدبر الفلك ولو لم يدر لم يدر،
Glory be to the Manager of the cosmos, and had He not directed it, it would not rotate,
يُدَبِّرْ — He direct it. A present-form verb carrying its own 'he' subject, but forced by the negator before it into the clipped jussive ending, which is why its last sound is cut short. That trimmed ending is the grammatical fingerprint of negation-with-lam, and it pins the action to a denied past event.
From: Rain and God's Decree →OpenArabic teaches words like يُدَبِّرْ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
