Example sentences

• لِيَعْلَمَ فِرْعَوْنُ حِينَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا أَنَّ مَقْدَرَتُهُ تَعْجِزُ عَنْ مِثْلِ مَا أُوتِيتُمَا،

  Pharaoh will know when he looks at it that his power cannot match what you two were given.

  أُوتِيتُمَا — you two were given. This verb is in its passive shape, so its subject receives the action, being given rather than giving, and the inner vowels carry that passive without any helper word. Its ending is the dual 'you two', so one word means 'you two were given'. The dual is Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' form.
