Arabic vocabulary
How to say “seized her” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قُلْتُ حُمَّى أَخَذَتْهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ حَدِيثٍ تُحَدِّثُ بِهِ،
I said a fever had seized her because of a story she was telling about it.
أَخَذَتْهَا — seized her. A past-tense verb with two grammatical jobs packed in: the -at marks a feminine subject (the fever), and the tacked-on -ha is the object pronoun 'her'. So subject and object both ride inside the single word, giving 'it (fem.) seized her' where English needs three words.
From: Aisha Cleared of Slander →OpenArabic teaches words like أَخَذَتْهَا through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
