How to say “you disobeyed me” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
فَعَصَيْتَنِي وَأَطَعْتَ الشَّيْطَانَ
Yet you disobeyed me and obeyed Satan.
فَعَصَيْتَنِي — so you disobeyed me. The front 'fa-' here marks an adversative turn ('and yet'), pivoting from the gift just described to the listener's failure. The verb is past with a built-in 'you' subject and '-ni' ('me') fused on as object, so it means 'you disobeyed me', the speaker being the one disobeyed.
