Arabic vocabulary
How to say “wrestled with him” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
لَقَى رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَصَارَعَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ الْأَنْسَى
A man from among the humans met a man from the jinn; they wrestled, and the human felled him.
فَصَارَعَهُ — so he wrestled with him. The 'fa-' carries the story forward ('and so'), and the verb is a past-tense wrestling-pattern form (doing something with someone) ending in the object '-hu' (him). So one word says 'so he wrestled him'.
