زَحْزَحdistance in Arabic

زَحْزَح is how you say “distance” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.

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'.
