How to say “distinguish” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
والقول الفصل هو الذي يفصل بين الحق والباطل فيميز هذا من هذا
The decisive word is that which distinguishes between truth and falsehood, separating one from the other.
يَفْصِلُ — distinguishes. A present-tense verb with its 'it' subject inside the form, opening the relative clause. Present tense gives a timeless, defining property of the decisive word rather than a one-time event, the way English uses the simple present in definitions.
