Arabic vocabulary
يَعْجِبُهُمْ is how you say “pleases them” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ أُكْتُبْهُ فَإِنَّ الْأَشْرَافُ يَعْجِبُهُمْ الْمُلَاحَةُ
He said, "Woe to you; write it down, for the nobles admire ornamented speech."
يَعْجِبُهُمْ — it pleases them. A present-tense verb ending in -hum 'them', working the reverse of English: the ornamented speech is what pleases, while 'them' (the nobles) are the ones pleased and ride as the object suffix. So the grammatical subject is the speech, not the people.
