Arabic vocabulary
How to say “to be clothed” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وينسى أنه خلق من نطفة ثم من علقة، ثم صار مضغة، ثم صار عظامًا، ثم كسي لحما
and forgets that he was created from a drop, then a clot, then a lump of flesh, then bones, then clothed with flesh.
كُسِيَ — clothed. This verb is in the passive: the bones do not clothe, they are clothed, the agent unnamed. Arabic marks this by the internal vowel pattern rather than a helper word, flipping the roles while keeping the verb close to its active form.
From: A Path to Mercy →OpenArabic teaches words like كُسِيَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
