فُتِحَwas opened in Arabic

Example sentences

• فتحت حتى ارتجت النهر، حتى عجت الغدر،

  They opened until the river roared, until the streams surged,

  فُتِحَتْ — so they were opened. This is the passive form of the verb: the clouds are the ones opened, and the opener is left unnamed. Arabic adds no helper word like 'were'; it marks the passive by reshaping the verb's inner vowels, so the action lands on its receiver, the clouds, who are the unstated subject.
