Arabic vocabulary
How to say “is scattered” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
حَتَّى إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُورِ،
Until what is in the graves is scattered,
بُعْثِرَ — is scattered. A past-tense verb in the passive, 'is scattered / turned out': its inner vowels are reshaped so the contents of the graves UNDERGO the upheaval rather than cause it. Arabic marks this passive by the vowel pattern alone, with no helper word like English 'is'.
