How to say “to shut out” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَوَجَدْتُهُمَا نَائِمَيْنِ وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَغْبِقَ قِبَلَهُمَا أَهْلاً أَوْ مَالًا،
So I found them both sleeping, and I disliked to shut them out from family or from wealth.
أَغْبِقَ — to shut out. A present-tense verb carrying its 'I' subject inside, pushed by the particle before it into the special ending used for an aim. That ending is why it reads as 'to deny', the disliked act, rather than a plain statement.
From: Trapped and Delivered →OpenArabic teaches words like أَغْبِقَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
