Arabic vocabulary
How to say “prioritize” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
تقول لا إلهَ إلا الله فتقطعُ تبعيّةَ القلب لِما سوى الله، ثم تُترجمها فعلًا تُقدِّم أمرَه على رغبتك
You say: 'There is no god but Allah' and cut the heart's dependency on anything besides Allah, then translate it into action: you prioritize His command over your desire.
تُقَدِّمُ — you prioritize. Present 'you put forward, prioritize', subject 'you' inside. The doubled middle is the 'advance, give precedence' pattern; it governs an object next.
From: Remembrance That Reshapes the Heart →وما داوم عليه وقدمه وأمر به أفضل مما كان يفعله أحياناً،
And what he maintained regularly and prioritized, and commanded is better than what he did sometimes,
وَقَدَّمَهُ — and prioritized it. 'and put it first' — 'wa' plus past 'advanced it', with 'it' attached; form-II.
From: The Opening Chapter →وَقَدَّمَتْهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ
And she preferred him over her self in every circumstance.
وَقَدَّمَتْهُ — and she preferred him. The front wa- continues the list, and the verb beneath it is a completed-action on an intensive 'put forward / preferred' pattern, with the -t for a female subject and the 'him' object suffixed on. So one word holds link, feminine doer, and object. The -hu points back to her child, whom she put before herself.
From: Honoring Parents →وما داوم عليه وقدمه وأمر به أفضل مما كان يفعله أحياناً، ويؤخره، ولم يأمر به
And what he persisted in and ordered is better than what he occasionally did, delayed, and did not order.
وَقَدَّمَهُ — and gave it precedence. The wa- coordinates a second past-tense verb onto the first, keeping the same subject, and that verb carries an attached '-it' object on its end. So the connector strings 'and gave it precedence' onto 'persisted in it', with the suffix pointing back to the same practice.
From: Praise and Supplication in Prayer →OpenArabic teaches words like قَدَّمَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
