Arabic vocabulary
زَحْزَحdistance
How to say “distance” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
فمن أحب أن يزحزح عن النار، ويدخل الجنة،
Whoever desires to be distanced from the Fire and admitted into Paradise,
يُزَحْزَحَ — to be distanced. This is the passive form of the verb: the person is the one moved away from the Fire by an unnamed agent, not the mover. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the inner vowels rather than adding a helper word, and the verb sits in the subjunctive ending demanded by the preceding 'that'.
