Arabic vocabulary
How to say “was made to enjoy” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
لَا تَعْجَبَنَّكُمَا زِينَتُهُ وَلَا مَا مُتِّعَ بِهِ،
Do not let its adornment, nor what you have been given of it, amaze you two.
مُتِّعَ — was made to enjoy. This verb is in its passive shape, so its subject receives the action, being granted enjoyment rather than granting it. It is built on a pattern that intensifies the root, here the giving of pleasures, and the passive is carried by the inner vowels, not a helper word. So it reads 'was given to enjoy'.
From: Under God's Shield →OpenArabic teaches words like مُتِّعَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
