Arabic vocabulary
How to say “is lent” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ذَلِكَ مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهَلْ الْمَتَاعُ إِلَّا عَارِيَةٌ تُعَارُ،
That is the provision of worldly life; and is the provision anything but a loan that is lent?
تُعَارُ — is lent. A present-tense verb in the passive — the loan 'is lent', undergoing the action with no lender named. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the verb's inner vowels, not by an English-style helper. The form drives home that worldly provision is something handed out on loan, to be taken back.
