Arabic vocabulary
How to say “leave” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
إنه ربوبيته الكاملة لخلقة تأبى أن يتركهم سدى
Indeed, His complete lordship over His creation refuses to leave them neglected.
يَتْرُكَهُمْ — leave them. Because the particle 'an' sits before it, this verb takes the subjunctive ending rather than the plain present one, marking the leaving as a contemplated act, not a reported fact. The object 'them' is attached straight onto the verb as a suffix, so the verb and its object travel as a single word.
From: False Prophets →بل يتركهم هملًا بمنزلة الأنعام السائمة
Rather, leaving them to wander like grazing cattle.
يَتْرُكُهُمْ — leaves them. A present-tense verb meaning he leaves, with the doer carried inside and the object 'them' attached as a suffix. It is the active voice, so the subject is the one doing the leaving rather than being left, and the object rides along on the verb itself.
From: False Prophets →قال أبقراط استدامة الصحبة بعب الماء، ويترك الامتلاء من الطعام والشراب
Hippocrates said that maintaining health involves drinking water and avoiding fullness from food and drink.
وَيَتْرُكُ — and he leaves. The 'wa-' joins the second instruction, and the word is a present-tense verb 'leaves/abandons' with its subject 'he' built in. The present tense gives the advice a general, ongoing force.
From: Moderation in Medicine →وَهَلْ يَتْرُكُ الصَّلَاةَ مُحْدَثًا إِلَّا وَهُوَ الرَّذَالَةُ الزَّبَّالَةُ ،
And who would abandon the prayer while ritually impure, except that he is base and filthy?
يَتْرُكُ — he abandons. This is a present-tense verb whose 'he' subject is built into its shape rather than written as a separate word, so 'he' is already inside the verb. The plain present (indicative) ending tells you this is a general, ongoing 'would/does abandon', the unmarked default before any particle bends it into another mood.
