إِنْسَانُperson in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَجُهِّلَ الإِنْسَانُ بِحُقُوقِ الْمُنْعِمِ مِنْ أَخْسِ صِفَاتِهِ،

  A person's ignorance of the rights of the benefactor is among his most despicable traits.

  الإِنْسَانُ — the person. This noun carries al- 'the', used generically for any human, and stands as the one the passive verb is about, the one made ignorant. Because the verb is passive, this is the receiver of that state rather than a doer. So 'the human being' here is the subject only in the sense of who undergoes the ignorance.

  Second: that when a person is in the state of listening to admonitions, he is relieved of the impediment.

  الإِنْسَانُ — the person. This definite human noun wears 'the' and is the subject of the copula, the one whose state is described. The verb came before it, as Arabic often allows.
