Arabic vocabulary
أَضْنَى is how you say “wear out” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وإذا أمسى كأنه مريض أضناه السقم
And when it was evening, it was as if he were a sick person worn out by illness.
أَضْنَاهُ — wore him out. This past-tense verb has an attached 'him' as its object, so one word means 'wore him out', and it waits for its named subject to follow. The fused 'him' points to the sick man the simile describes.
