Arabic vocabulary
How to say “overpower him” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
لَمْ تَكَلَّمْهُ الدُّنْيَا، وَلَمْ يُطْغِهِ الْهَوَى
The world did not speak to him, nor did desire overpower him.
يُطْغِهِ — overpower him. This verb sits in the clipped (jussive) form demanded by the 'did not' particle before it, and tacked onto its end is -hu, the 'him' object. So one word holds the verb, the negation-shaped ending, and the object pronoun. The negation word governs the trimmed ending.
