Arabic vocabulary
How to say “harm” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
لا يأمرهم ولا ينهاهم ولا يرشدهم إلى ما ينفعهم ويحذرهم ما يضرهم
Not commanding them, nor forbidding them, nor guiding them to what benefits them, nor warning them of what harms them.
يُضِرُّهُمْ — harms them. A present-tense verb meaning it harms, built on a doubled root so the final consonant is written once but pronounced strong. The object 'them' is suffixed, and the verb sits inside the relative clause with its subject understood as 'that which'.
From: False Prophets →OpenArabic teaches words like يُضِرُّ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
