يُفْجَؤُsurprise

Example sentences

• فإنك لا تدري متى يفجأك الأجل، فتندم حيث لا ينفع الندم

  For indeed you do not know when your end may strike you, so you will regret when regret is of no use.

  يُفْجَؤُكَ — may strike you. This verb is in the passive: the end is something done to you by an unseen agent, not something it actively performs. Arabic does not add a helper word like English 'is struck'; it signals the passive purely by the internal vowel pattern. The -ka on the end is the object 'you', the one the action lands on.
