How to say “disobedient” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ومن كان عاصيًا، خرج من قبره حزينًا كاسفًا، ووجهه أسود مظلم
And whoever was disobedient, he will emerge from his grave sorrowful and gloomy, with a dark, blackened face.
عَاصِيًا — disobedient. This is the predicate of 'was', an active participle meaning 'disobedient', so the being-verb puts it in the object case. With no 'the' it stays indefinite, describing the state the person was in.
