دُعِيتَto be asked in Arabic

Example sentences

• قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كُفِيتَ ذَلِكَ وَدُعِيتَ إِلَى الْجَمَالِ وَالْمَالِ وَالشَرَفِ وَالْكَفَاءَةِ أَلا تُجِيبُ؟

  I said: If that would be enough, and you were asked for beauty, wealth, honor, and suitability, would you not answer?

  وَدُعِيتَ — and you are asked. The connector wa- ('and') fused to a past passive verb ('you were called/invited'): again the internal vowels, not a helper word, mark the subject as the one receiving the action. The wa- coordinates this with the previous passive condition.

  From: The Prophet's Marriage to Khadijah →
