صِيحَwas called in Arabic

Example sentences

• إِنَّا إِذَا صِيحَ بِنا أَتَيْنَا

  Indeed, when we were called, we came.

  صِيحَ — was called. A passive verb: the calling is received with no named caller, focus on the summons rather than who gives it. Arabic builds this passive by reshaping the verb's internal vowels, which is why the doer drops out of the grammar entirely.
