How to say “needed” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ولو أن إنسانًا جاع فلم يأكل، أو احتاج فلم يسأل، أو عري فلم يلبس، فمات دخل النار،
And if a person goes hungry and does not eat, or is in need and does not ask, or is unclothed and does not dress, and dies, he enters the Fire,
احْتَاجَ — is in need. This past-tense verb has its 'he' subject built in and states the second supposed condition, 'was in need'. It opens the parallel scenario.
