Arabic vocabulary
يُوزَنُ is how you say “is weighed” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
لَا يُوزَنُ بِهِ رِجْلٌ إِلَّا رَجَحَ بِهِ
No leg is weighed with it without tipping the balance.
يُوْزَنُ — is weighed. This verb is in the passive: the leg undergoes the weighing rather than doing it, with no named weigher. Arabic builds the passive not with a helper word like English 'is' but by reshaping the vowels inside the verb itself, which is why it looks close to its active twin yet flips the roles.
From: The Prophet's Marriage to Khadijah →OpenArabic teaches words like يُوزَنُ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
