Arabic vocabulary
How to say “to favor” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَلَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُؤَثِّرَ عَلَيْكِ،
So I do not like to favor you over others,
أُؤَثِّرَ — to favor. A first-person present verb, 'I favor / I prefer', sitting in the subjunctive shape because the particle just before it requires it. The cut-back ending is the signal that this verb is the content of the wish ('to favor'), not an independent statement. The doubled middle consonant is the verb's intensive pattern, and the 'I' is inside the form.
