Arabic vocabulary
How to say “you name him” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَأَوْصَى إِنْ وَلَدْتِ غُلَامًا أَنْ تُسَمِّيهِ يَالَادِين
And he instructed that if you give birth to a son, name him Yaladin.
أُسَمِّيهِ — you name him. A present-tense verb meaning 'name', carrying a tail pronoun 'him', sitting in the clause opened by the subordinating particle. The 'him' is the one to be named, riding inside the verb. The verb's built-in subject is the addressee, so it reads as 'that you name him'.
From: Stories of Prophetic Judgments →OpenArabic teaches words like تُسَمِّيهِ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
