Arabic vocabulary
How to say “maintain” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
من أدبِه أن يلزمَ المرءُ تواضعًا معرفيًّا يرى الدليلَ، ويدركُ حدودَ فهمه، ويستحضر أن المقاصدَ أوسعُ من جزئيةٍ واحدة
Part of its etiquette is that a person maintains intellectual humility: seeing the evidence, recognizing the limits of his understanding, and remembering that the objectives are broader than a single issue.
يَلْزَمَ — maintain. 'keep firmly to / hold onto,' in the subjunctive (the -a) after 'an.' Its subject, 'a person,' follows, and its object, 'humility,' after that: one should cleave to intellectual humility.
From: Mercy in Disagreement →OpenArabic teaches words like يَلْزَمُ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
