How to say “what is owed” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
وَالْعَاقِلُ يَعْرِفُ حَقَّ الْمُحْسِنِ،
And the wise person recognizes what is owed to the benefactor.
حَقَّ — what is owed. This noun, 'right / due', is the object of 'recognizes', marked by the object-style -a ending, and it opens an owner-and-owned pairing with the benefactor-word after it. As the first half it stays bare and takes its definiteness from the owner ahead. So it means 'recognizes the benefactor's due'.
