Arabic vocabulary
يُصِيبَ is how you say “hit” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ مَا أَخْطَأَك لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُصِيبَك،
And know that what missed you was never going to reach you.
لِيُصِيبَكَ — to hit you. After 'was not', this 'li-' plus a subjunctive verb forms a flat denial of any possibility: 'was not [destined] to befall you'. The 'li-' triggers the subjunctive '-a' ending, ruling the event out as never in your fate; '-ka' is the object 'you'.
From: Patience and Trust in God →OpenArabic teaches words like يُصِيبَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
