How to say “waste away” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
أَمْرَضُوا كَبِدِي وَانْحَلُّوا جِسْمِي
They made my liver sick and they wasted away my body.
وأنحلوا — and they wasted away. Opens with a connector 'wa-' adding a parallel complaint, fused to a past verb on a pattern meaning to make waste away, carrying a plural '-u' subject, 'they'. The 'wa-' here pairs this clause with the first, matching 'sickened my liver' with 'wasted my body'. The verb leads into its object.
