Arabic vocabulary
How to say “given” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَلَا يُعْطَى بِهِ شَيْئًا
But he is not given anything for it.
يُعْطَى — he is given. This verb is passive: its inner vowels are reshaped so the man is the receiver, 'he is given', with no stated giver. Arabic shows the passive through the vowel pattern itself, not an added helper word.
From: Empty Fasting, Empty Prayer →OpenArabic teaches words like يُعْطَى through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
