Arabic vocabulary
How to say “slip” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وحين تزلُّ قدمُك فتقول أستغفرُ الله، فالمعنى أطلبُ سترَ الذنب ومحوَ أثره، وأتبعه بإصلاحٍ عمليٍّ يُثبتُ صدق الطلب
And when your foot slips and you say, 'I seek forgiveness from Allah,' the meaning is: I ask for the covering of the sin and the erasure of its effect, and follow it with practical correction proving the sincerity of the request.
تَزِلُّ — slips. Present 'slips', subject inside; its feminine shape looks ahead to its subject 'your foot', which is feminine. So the verb's form already announces who slips.
