Arabic vocabulary
How to say “to remove” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَقَالَ وَهْبُ لِإِزَالَةِ الْجَبَلَ صَخْرَةً صَخْرَةً
And Wahb said, 'To remove the mountain, rock by rock.'
لِإِزَالَةِ — to remove. The prefix li- here marks purpose, 'in order to', riding on a verbal noun (a noun naming the action 'removing'). So it builds 'to remove' as a goal. The li- forces that action-noun into the (genitive) as its object.
