فَوَّتَpass by

Example sentences

• أَوْ يَظُنُّ الَّذِي يُبَارِزُنِي أَنْ يَسْبِقَنِي أَوْ يُفَوِّتَنِي؟

  Or does the one who challenges me think that he will get ahead of me or pass me by?

  يُفَوِّتَنِي — pass me by. This verb is built on a pattern meaning to make something slip past, and it carries the subjunctive shape from the earlier 'that', with -ni ('me') fused to its end as the object. So one word means 'pass me by' as a supposed outcome. The changed ending marks it hypothetical and the pronoun is the speaker.
