How to say “spoke harshly” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَشَتَمَهُ وَأَغْلَظَ عَلَيْهِ،
He insulted him and spoke harshly to him.
وَأَغْلَظَ — and he spoke harshly. This joins a linking 'and' to a derived-pattern past verb 'was harsh / spoke roughly', whose built-up shape carries the 'be severe toward' sense. It carries its own 'he' subject and is completed by the preposition-phrase that follows.
