Arabic vocabulary
How to say “to cause” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وكم من رجل غضب على ولده أو صديقه، فقال كلمة قاسية فرقت بينهما، أو فعل فعلة شنعاء أورثت عداوة
How many a man has gotten angry at his child or friend, uttered a harsh word that separated them, or committed a terrible deed that led to enmity.
أَوْرَثَتْ — that resulted in. A past-tense verb with a feminine 'it' ending, agreeing with the feminine 'deed' it describes: a deed that bequeathed. The feminine ending tracks that its subject is the deed, not the man.
