Arabic vocabulary
تَشِمْ is how you say “sneer” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَتَبَصَّرْ وَلَا تَشِمْ
So look carefully and do not sneer.
تَشِمْ — sneer. A present-shaped verb sitting in the clipped form the prohibitive 'do not' before it forces, aimed at 'you', so it reads 'do not gloat'. The 'do not' both bans the act and reshapes the verb's ending. It warns the listener off sneering at another's fall.
