تَخْصِيص
تَخْصِيص en 30 segundos
- Takhṣīṣ means allocating or earmarking something for a specific use.
- It is commonly used for budgets, time management, and resource distribution.
- In technology, it is the standard term for 'customization' or 'personalization'.
- It comes from the root Kh-S-S, meaning special, private, or particular.
The Arabic word تَخْصِيص (takhṣīṣ) is a versatile and essential noun derived from the root kh-ṣ-ṣ (خ-ص-ص), which fundamentally relates to being special, particular, or private. In a general sense, it refers to the act of earmarking, designating, or setting something aside for a specific purpose. Imagine a large sum of money or a block of time; takhṣīṣ is the process of saying, "This portion is specifically for X." It is a word that bridges the gap between everyday organization and high-level economic policy.
- Economic Context
- In economics, this word is frequently used to describe the allocation of resources or funds. It is also the term used for 'privatization' in some contexts (though khaskhasah is more specific for that), as it involves designating public assets for private ownership or specific operational goals.
- Daily Life
- On a personal level, you might use it when talking about time management. If you decide to set aside two hours every morning for exercise, you are performing a takhṣīṣ of your time. It implies intentionality and focus.
قَرَّرَتِ الحُكُومَةُ تَخْصِيصَ مَبَالِغَ كَبِيرَةٍ لِتَطْوِيرِ التَّعْلِيمِ.
(The government decided to allocate large sums for the development of education.)
The beauty of takhṣīṣ lies in its precision. Unlike mere 'giving' or 'sending,' this word carries the weight of a formal decision. When a company performs a takhṣīṣ of shares, it isn't just handing them out; it is legally and formally designating them to specific individuals or entities. This nuance makes it a favorite in legal, academic, and professional Arabic discourse.
يَجِبُ تَخْصِيصُ مَسَاحَةٍ لِلْعَمَلِ فِي المَنْزِلِ.
(It is necessary to designate a space for work at home.)
Furthermore, in the realm of technology, takhṣīṣ is the standard term for 'customization.' When you go into the settings of an app to change the theme or notifications, you are 'customizing' (takhṣīṣ) the interface to suit your specific needs. This modern application shows how the root meaning of 'making something special/specific' adapts perfectly to the digital age. Whether it is a budget, a room, a time slot, or a software interface, the act of takhṣīṣ ensures that a general resource is tailored to a particular function.
- Linguistic Root
- The root Kh-S-S also gives us words like 'Khāṣṣ' (Special/Private) and 'Khuṣūṣiyyah' (Privacy). Understanding this connection helps you realize that 'takhṣīṣ' is essentially the process of making something 'khāṣṣ' (specific/special) for a certain purpose.
تَمَّ تَخْصِيصُ جَائِزَةٍ لِأَفْضَلِ مُوَظَّفٍ.
(A prize was designated for the best employee.)
سَأَقُومُ بِـ تَخْصِيصِ سَاعَةٍ يَوْمِيًّا لِتَعَلُّمِ العَرَبِيَّةِ.
(I will allocate an hour daily to learn Arabic.)
يُمْكِنُكَ تَخْصِيصُ خَلْفِيَّةِ الشَّاشَةِ.
(You can customize the screen background.)
Using تَخْصِيص effectively requires understanding its role as a verbal noun (Masdar). It often appears as the first part of an Idafa construction (the possessive structure in Arabic), where it is followed by the thing being allocated or the purpose of the allocation. For instance, 'takhṣīṣ al-mawārid' (allocation of resources) or 'takhṣīṣ al-waqt' (allocation of time). Because it is a formal noun, it is frequently preceded by verbs like 'تم' (tamma - was completed) or 'يجب' (yajibu - must) to indicate that an allocation has happened or should happen.
- The 'Tamma' Construction
- In formal news reports, you will often see 'تم تخصيص' (tamma takhṣīṣ), which translates to 'was allocated'. This is a very common way to express the passive voice in professional Arabic without using the complex passive verb forms.
تَمَّ تَخْصِيصُ مِيزَانِيَّةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ لِلْمَشْرُوعِ.
(A new budget was allocated for the project.)
Another common pattern involves using the preposition 'لـ' (li - for) to show the recipient or the purpose. For example, 'takhṣīṣ ar-rabḥ lil-a'māl al-khayriyyah' (allocating profit for charitable works). This structure is essential for clear communication in business and philanthropic settings. It shows exactly where the 'special' focus is being directed.
نَسْعَى إِلَى تَخْصِيصِ المَزِيدِ مِنَ الوَقْتِ لِلْعَائِلَةِ.
(We strive to allocate more time for the family.)
- Customization in Tech
- When you see this word in a software menu, it is often a standalone button label meaning 'Customize'. If it's a full sentence, it might be 'takhṣīṣ al-i'dādāt' (customizing settings).
اِضْغَطْ هُنَا لِـ تَخْصِيصِ مَظْهَرِ المَوْقِعِ.
(Click here to customize the appearance of the website.)
In academic writing, takhṣīṣ is used to narrow down a topic. If a researcher is talking about a broad subject but wants to focus on one aspect, they might use 'takhṣīṣ al-baḥth' (specifying/narrowing the research). This demonstrates the word's ability to move from physical objects (money) to abstract concepts (ideas and scope).
يُفَضِّلُ البَعْضُ تَخْصِيصَ هَواتِفِهِم بِأَغْلِفَةٍ مُلَوَّنَةٍ.
(Some people prefer to customize their phones with colorful covers.)
- Legal and Contractual Use
- In contracts, you will see 'takhṣīṣ al-arbaḥ' (allocation of profits) to define how money is split. It is a binding term that leaves no room for ambiguity.
اِتَّفَقَ الشُّرَكَاءُ عَلَى تَخْصِيصِ نِسْبَةٍ مِنَ الدَّخْلِ لِلتَّطْوِيرِ.
(The partners agreed on allocating a percentage of income for development.)
Finally, remember that takhṣīṣ can be used in the plural as 'takhṣīṣāt' (allocations/appropriations). This is very common in government budget reports where various departments receive different 'takhṣīṣāt'. Using the plural form emphasizes the variety and quantity of the designations being made.
زَادَتِ التَّخْصِيصَاتُ المَالِيَّةُ لِلصِّحَّةِ هَذَا العَامَ.
(Financial allocations for health increased this year.)
If you turn on an Arabic news channel like Al Jazeera or Al Arabiya, you are almost guaranteed to hear تَخْصِيص during the economic segment. News anchors use it to discuss national budgets, IMF loans, or emergency aid. It sounds official, authoritative, and precise. For example, 'takhṣīṣ mibaligh' (allocating sums) is a staple phrase in reporting on government initiatives. It conveys that the government isn't just talking about spending; they have actually earmarked the funds.
- In the Corporate Office
- In a business meeting in Dubai or Riyadh, managers use 'takhṣīṣ' when discussing project management. You'll hear phrases like 'takhṣīṣ al-mahamm' (allocation of tasks) or 'takhṣīṣ al-mawarid' (resource allocation). It’s the language of efficiency and planning.
نَحْتَاجُ إِلَى تَخْصِيصِ مِيزَانِيَّةٍ لِلتَّسْوِيقِ الرَّقْمِيِّ.
(We need to allocate a budget for digital marketing.)
You will also encounter this word frequently in the digital world. Every time you open an app and see settings related to your profile, notification sounds, or display preferences, you are looking at 'takhṣīṣ'. In Arabic-localized versions of Windows, macOS, or Android, 'Personalize' or 'Customize' is translated as takhṣīṣ. It has become the standard tech term for making a generic system unique to a specific user.
تُفَكِّرُ الدَّوْلَةُ فِي تَخْصِيصِ بَعْضِ القِطَاعَاتِ العَامَّةِ.
(The state is considering the privatization of some public sectors.)
In educational settings, teachers use it to designate specific students for tasks or to allocate time for different parts of a lesson. 'Takhṣīṣ waqt lil-muraaja'ah' (allocating time for review) is a common instruction before exams. It signals to students that this time is 'sacred' for one specific purpose and should not be used for anything else.
- Legal Documents
- In wills (wasiyyah) or endowment deeds (waqf), 'takhṣīṣ' is used to specify which property goes to which cause or person. It is a word that carries legal finality.
تَمَّ تَخْصِيصُ هَذَا العَقَارِ لِلأَعْمَالِ الخَيْرِيَّةِ.
(This property was designated for charitable works.)
Finally, you might hear it in social settings when someone is 'reserving' something. While 'hajz' is more common for reservations (like a hotel), takhṣīṣ is used when the reservation is for a specific, distinguished purpose or person. It adds a layer of exclusivity. If a VIP table is set aside, it is a takhṣīṣ. If a room is dedicated as a prayer room, it is a takhṣīṣ. It’s the sound of purpose in action.
هَلْ يُمْكِنُ تَخْصِيصُ مَكَانٍ لِلْمُدَخِّنِينَ؟
(Can a place be designated for smokers?)
One of the most frequent mistakes learners make with تَخْصِيص is confusing it with its related noun تَخَصُّص (takhaṣṣuṣ). While they share the same root, takhaṣṣuṣ means 'specialization' or 'academic major.' If you say 'My takhṣīṣ is medicine,' people will understand what you mean, but it sounds like you 'allocated' medicine rather than 'specialized' in it. Remember: takhṣīṣ is something you *do* to resources, while takhaṣṣuṣ is what you *have* in your career.
- Confusion with 'Hajz'
- Learners often use 'takhṣīṣ' when they should use 'hajz' (booking/reservation). Use 'hajz' for a hotel room or a flight. Use 'takhṣīṣ' when a manager or an authority officially sets aside a resource for a long-term or specific purpose.
خَطَأ: تَخْصِيصُ غُرْفَةٍ فِي الفُنْدُقِ.
(Wrong: 'Allocation' of a room in the hotel - use 'hajz' instead.)
Another mistake is the preposition. While takhṣīṣ works well in an Idafa (takhṣīṣ al-māl), when using a preposition to indicate the goal, you must use 'لـ' (li - for). Using 'في' (fi - in) is a common error. For example, you allocate money *for* (li) a project, not *in* (fi) a project. This subtle difference in prepositions can make your Arabic sound much more natural and precise.
صَحِيح: تَمَّ تَخْصِيصُ المَبْلَغِ لِلْبِنَاءِ.
(Correct: The amount was allocated for the construction.)
In the context of 'privatization,' be careful. While takhṣīṣ is used in some academic circles, the most common word in modern media is khaskhasah (خصخصة). If you are talking about the government selling a telecom company, khaskhasah is the standard term. Using takhṣīṣ might sound a bit old-fashioned or overly general in this specific economic context.
- Pronunciation Error
- Ensure you emphasize the 'shaddah' (double consonant) on the 'ṣād' (ص). It is takh-ṣīṣ, not takh-ṣīs. Mispronouncing the 'ṣ' as a light 's' can change the feel of the word and make it harder to recognize for native speakers.
تَأَكَّدْ مِنْ نُطْقِ حَرْفِ الصَّادِ بِقُوَّةٍ.
(Make sure to pronounce the letter Sad strongly.)
Lastly, some learners use takhṣīṣ when they mean 'specification' in a technical manual. While it works, the word muwāṣafāt (specifications/features) is usually what you see on a product box. Takhṣīṣ is the *act* of specifying, while muwāṣafāt are the *details* themselves. Distinguishing between the action and the result will elevate your Arabic to a professional B2/C1 level.
Arabic is a language of synonyms, each with a slight shade of difference. To truly master تَخْصِيص, you should know its neighbors. The most common alternative is تَوْزِيع (tawzīʿ), which means 'distribution.' While takhṣīṣ is about earmarking for a *specific* purpose, tawzīʿ is about spreading resources across *many* recipients. If a cake is cut and given to everyone, it's tawzīʿ. If one slice is put in a box specifically for Sarah, that's takhṣīṣ.
- Takhṣīṣ vs. Taʿyīn
- 'Taʿyīn' (تعيين) means 'appointment' or 'designation.' We use 'taʿyīn' for people (appointing a manager) and 'takhṣīṣ' for inanimate resources (allocating a budget). You wouldn't 'takhṣīṣ' a person to a role; you would 'taʿyīn' them.
نَقُومُ بِـ تَوْزِيعِ المَهَامِّ، لَكِنَّنَا نَحْتَاجُ لِـ تَخْصِيصِ مِيزَانِيَّةٍ.
(We are distributing tasks, but we need to allocate a budget.)
Another related word is إِفْرَاد (ifrād), which means 'singling out' or 'setting apart.' This is more literary and less common in business. It implies isolation. Takhṣīṣ is more about the *purpose* of the setting aside, whereas ifrād is just about the act of making something alone or separate. In a technical or UI context, you might also see تَهْيِئَة (tahyi'ah), which means 'configuration' or 'setup.' While takhṣīṣ is 'customization' (making it yours), tahyi'ah is 'configuration' (making it work).
تَمَّ تَعْيِينُ مُدِيرٍ جَدِيدٍ لِلإِشْرَافِ عَلَى تَخْصِيصِ المَوَارِدِ.
(A new manager was appointed to oversee the allocation of resources.)
- Takhṣīṣ vs. Tajhīz
- 'Tajhīz' (تجهيز) means 'preparing' or 'equipping.' If you are setting up a room with furniture, it's 'tajhīz.' If you are officially declaring that room to be 'The Meeting Room,' it's 'takhṣīṣ.'
بَعْدَ تَجْهِيزِ المَعْمَلِ، تَمَّ تَخْصِيصُهُ لِلأَبْحَاثِ الجِينِيَّةِ.
(After equipping the lab, it was allocated for genetic research.)
Finally, consider حَصْر (ḥaṣr), which means 'limiting' or 'restricting.' While takhṣīṣ is positive (giving for a purpose), ḥaṣr can feel more restrictive. However, in logic and linguistics, they are close cousins. If you 'takhṣīṣ' a rule to one group, you are 'ḥaṣr'-ing (limiting) its application. Understanding these synonyms allows you to choose the exact emotional and professional tone for your sentence.
How Formal Is It?
"تَمَّ تَخْصِيصُ مَبَالِغَ إِضَافِيَّةٍ لِقِطَاعِ التَّعْلِيمِ."
"نَحْتَاجُ إِلَى تَخْصِيصِ وَقْتٍ لِلدِّرَاسَةِ."
"خَصِّصْ لِي مَكَانًا جَنْبَكَ."
"هَذَا الصُّنْدُوقُ تَخْصِيصٌ لِأَلْعَابِكَ."
"مَا فِيهْ تَخْصِيصْ، الكِلْ سَوَا."
Dato curioso
The same root gives us 'Khāṣṣ' (Special). In the medieval period, the 'Khāṣṣah' referred to the elite or the inner circle of a Caliph, as they were the 'specially designated' people of the court.
Guía de pronunciación
- Pronouncing 'ṣ' (ص) as a light 's' (س).
- Failing to pronounce the 'kh' (خ) with enough rasp.
- Shortening the long 'ī' vowel.
- Putting the stress on the first syllable instead of the second.
- Confusing the 'shaddah' (doubling) from the verb 'khassasa' with the noun 'takhsis' (which doesn't have a shaddah on the 'ṣ').
Nivel de dificultad
The word is common in news and formal texts, making it recognizable but requiring context to distinguish from 'takhasus'.
Requires correct use of Idafa and prepositions like 'li-'.
The 'kh' and 's' sounds together can be tricky for beginners to pronounce fluidly.
Easily heard in news broadcasts, but must be distinguished from phonetically similar roots.

Consejos
Mastering the Idafa
Always pair 'takhṣīṣ' with the resource in an Idafa structure. For example, 'takhṣīṣ al-waqt' (time allocation). This is the most natural way to use the word in professional writing.
Root Recognition
Whenever you see the letters Kh-S-S, think 'Special'. This will help you remember that 'takhṣīṣ' is about making a special designation for something.
The Emphatic 'S'
Practice the 'ṣ' sound. If you say it like a regular 's', it might sound like a different word. Keep your tongue low and the sound heavy.
News Awareness
Watch the economic news. You will hear 'takhṣīṣ' every time a budget is mentioned. This is the best way to hear the word used in its natural, formal habitat.
App Settings
Change your phone's language to Arabic for a day. You will see 'takhṣīṣ' in the display and notification settings, which will cement its meaning as 'customization'.
Formal Reports
In business reports, use 'takhṣīṣāt' (plural) to refer to different budget lines. It sounds much more professional than using 'money for' repeatedly.
Distinguish from Takhasus
In fast speech, 'takhṣīṣ' and 'takhaṣṣuṣ' sound similar. Listen for the 'i' sound vs the 'u' sound at the end. Takh-ṣīṣ (long i) vs Takhaṣ-ṣuṣ (short u).
Legal Precision
In contracts, 'takhṣīṣ' is used to avoid ambiguity. If you are translating a contract, 'allocation' or 'designation' are usually the best English equivalents.
The 'Choice' Connection
Think of 'Takh-ṣīṣ' as making a 'Choice'. You are choosing exactly where a resource goes. The 'ch' sound isn't there, but the logic is!
Religious Context
If you study Islamic law, 'takhṣīṣ' is a key term for interpreting texts. It means specifying a general rule, which shows the word's importance in logical reasoning.
Memorízalo
Mnemotecnia
Think of 'Takh-ṣīṣ' as 'Tax-Seize'. When the government 'seizes' taxes, they must then 'Takhṣīṣ' (allocate) them to different departments. Takhṣīṣ is the plan for the money.
Asociación visual
Imagine a big cake (the budget) and a person putting a small flag with a name on one specific slice. That act of flagging is 'takhṣīṣ'.
Word Web
Desafío
Try to use 'takhṣīṣ' in three different ways today: once for your time, once for your money, and once for a setting on your phone.
Origen de la palabra
The word comes from the Arabic root Kh-S-S (خ-ص-ص), which is ancient and central to Semitic languages. This root primarily carries the meaning of being special, distinct, or choosing something above others.
Significado original: To distinguish one thing from another or to make something private/exclusive.
Semitic / AfroasiaticContexto cultural
When discussing 'takhṣīṣ' as privatization, be aware that it can be a politically sensitive topic regarding job security and public services.
In English, we use different words: 'allocation' for money, 'customization' for tech, and 'designation' for roles. Arabic uses 'takhṣīṣ' for all three.

Preguntas frecuentes
10 preguntasNo, while it is very common for budgets and funds, it is also used for time, physical space, and software customization. It essentially means earmarking any resource for a specific purpose.
No, the correct word for that is 'takhaṣṣuṣ'. Using 'takhṣīṣ' would imply you were 'allocated' to a major by an authority, which is rare in conversation.
It is more common in formal or semi-formal contexts. In very casual speech, people might use the verb 'khassas' or simpler words like 'khalla' (to leave/keep) or 'hajaz' (to book).
'Khaskhasah' is specifically 'privatization' (selling state assets to the private sector). 'Takhṣīṣ' is a broader term for 'allocation,' though it is sometimes used as a synonym for privatization in academic texts.
'Takhṣīṣ' is the standard word. For example, 'takhṣīṣ al-i'dādāt' means 'customizing settings' in apps and software.
It is a masculine noun (takhṣīṣun). However, its plural 'takhṣīṣāt' is a sound feminine plural.
Usually, no. You use 'taʿyīn' for appointing people. You 'takhṣīṣ' things (money, time, objects) for people or purposes.
The preposition 'li-' (for) is most common. For example: 'takhṣīṣ al-māl lil-mashrūʿ' (allocating money for the project).
It means 'time allocation' or 'setting aside time.' It is a key phrase in productivity and study habits.
It ends with the letter 'ṣād' (ص), so it should be transliterated with a dot under the 's' to show it is an emphatic, heavy sound.

Summary
تَخْصِيص is the bridge between a general resource and a specific goal. Whether you are a government official allocating a multi-billion dollar budget (تَخْصِيص مِيزَانِيَّة) or a student setting aside an hour for study (تَخْصِيص وَقْت), you are practicing the art of intentional focus.
- Takhṣīṣ means allocating or earmarking something for a specific use.
- It is commonly used for budgets, time management, and resource distribution.
- In technology, it is the standard term for 'customization' or 'personalization'.
- It comes from the root Kh-S-S, meaning special, private, or particular.
Mastering the Idafa
Always pair 'takhṣīṣ' with the resource in an Idafa structure. For example, 'takhṣīṣ al-waqt' (time allocation). This is the most natural way to use the word in professional writing.
Root Recognition
Whenever you see the letters Kh-S-S, think 'Special'. This will help you remember that 'takhṣīṣ' is about making a special designation for something.
The Emphatic 'S'

News Awareness
