يُعْطِي در ۳۰ ثانیه
- A versatile verb meaning 'to give' in the present tense.
- Commonly used for both physical objects and abstract concepts.
- Requires two objects: the person receiving and the thing given.
- Essential for daily communication, charity, and professional life.
The Arabic verb يُعْطِي (yu'ṭī) is a cornerstone of the Arabic language, functioning as the primary way to express the act of giving, transferring, or bestowing something upon another. At its core, it is the present tense (imperfect) form of the Form IV verb أَعْطَى (a'ṭā). In the landscape of Arabic linguistics, Form IV verbs often carry a causative meaning, and here, the root ع-ط-ي (ʿ-ṭ-y) relates to the extension or reaching out of a hand to provide something. When you use يُعْطِي, you are describing an ongoing or habitual action of giving, whether it is a physical object like a book, an abstract concept like advice, or a biological process like a tree giving fruit.
- Linguistic Category
- This is a ditransitive verb, meaning it typically requires two objects: the person being given to (the recipient) and the thing being given (the gift). Unlike English, where we often use the preposition 'to' (e.g., 'He gives the book to me'), Arabic syntax often places both objects directly after the verb in the accusative case (mansub).
الأب يُعْطِي ابْنَهُ نَصِيحَةً غَالِيَةً كُلَّ يَوْمٍ.
The usage of يُعْطِي extends far beyond simple transactions. It is deeply embedded in the cultural fabric of generosity (karam) which is a highly valued trait in Arab society. You will hear it in religious contexts, such as when discussing Zakat (almsgiving), where the act of giving is seen as a purification of wealth. It is also prevalent in educational settings, where a teacher 'gives' a lesson, or in medical contexts, where a doctor 'gives' a prescription. The versatility of this verb makes it one of the first fifty verbs a serious learner of Arabic must master to navigate daily life effectively.
- Morphological Note
- The verb is a 'Defective' verb (Mu'tall al-Akhir) because its root ends in a weak letter (Yaa). This affects how it is conjugated in the jussive mood or when attached to certain pronouns, making it a key study point for intermediate grammar.
هَذَا العَمَلُ يُعْطِينِي أَمَلًا فِي المُسْتَقْبَلِ.
In modern standard Arabic (MSA), يُعْطِي maintains a formal yet accessible tone. It is the standard word used in news broadcasts ('The minister gives a statement'), in literature ('The sun gives light'), and in formal correspondence. However, it is important to note that in various spoken dialects (Ammiya), the pronunciation might shift slightly (e.g., bi'ti in Levantine), but the underlying root and the core concept of 'giving' remain identical across the Arab world.
- Social Context
- Using this verb often implies a position of agency. The 'giver' (al-mu'ṭī) is seen as the active participant. In Islamic theology, 'Al-Mu'ṭī' is one of the names of God, meaning 'The Giver' or 'The Bestower', which adds a layer of spiritual significance to the word.
المُؤَسَّسَةُ الخَيْرِيَّةُ تُعْطِي المَعُونَةَ لِلْمُحْتَاجِينَ.
Mastering the use of يُعْطِي requires understanding its syntactic structure, which is famously ditransitive. This means the verb acts upon two objects without the need for a preposition like 'to' (li-) in many cases, although 'li-' can be used for clarity or emphasis. The standard pattern is: [Verb] + [Subject] + [Object 1: Recipient] + [Object 2: Thing]. Understanding this flow is essential for constructing natural-sounding Arabic sentences.
- Pattern 1: Direct Double Objects
- In this pattern, both the recipient and the gift are in the accusative case. Example: 'Yu'ṭī al-mudīru al-muwaẓẓafa makāfa'atan' (The manager gives the employee a bonus). Here, 'al-muwaẓẓafa' (the employee) is the first object, and 'makāfa'atan' (a bonus) is the second.
هَلْ تُعْطِينِي فُرْصَةً أُخْرَى لِأَشْرَحَ مَوْقِفِي؟
When using يُعْطِي with pronouns, the recipient pronoun is attached directly to the verb. If the 'thing' being given is also a pronoun, it usually follows as a separate word (like 'iyyāhu') or is attached as a second suffix, though the latter is less common in modern prose. For example, 'He gives it to me' would typically be 'Yu'ṭīnī iyyāhu'. This structure ensures that the relationship between the giver, the recipient, and the object remains clear even in complex sentences.
- Pattern 2: Abstract Giving
- The verb is frequently used with abstract nouns like 'attention' (ihtimām), 'importance' (ahmiyya), or 'permission' (idhn). Example: 'Yu'ṭī al-qā'idu al-awāmira' (The leader gives the orders).
العِلْمُ يُعْطِي الإِنْسَانَ قُوَّةً لَا تُقْهَرُ.
In the present tense, يُعْطِي follows the standard conjugation for Form IV verbs. For 'I give', it is u'ṭī (أُعْطِي); for 'we give', it is nu'ṭī (نُعْطِي); for 'she gives' or 'you (masc. sing.) give', it is tu'ṭī (تُعْطِي). Note that the final 'Yaa' is preserved in the indicative mood but drops in the jussive mood (e.g., after 'lam'), becoming lam yu'ṭi (لَمْ يُعْطِ). This subtle grammatical change is a hallmark of advanced proficiency.
- Pattern 3: Passive Usage
- The passive form 'yu'ṭā' (يُعْطَى) means 'to be given'. It is used when the giver is unknown or irrelevant. Example: 'Yu'ṭā al-fā'izu jā'izatan' (The winner is given a prize).
كُلُّ شَخْصٍ يُعْطَى حَقَّهُ فِي هَذِهِ المَحْكَمَةِ.
The verb يُعْطِي is ubiquitous, appearing in almost every domain of Arabic life. From the bustling markets of Cairo to the formal diplomatic halls of Riyadh, the concept of giving is central to communication. Understanding where and how you will encounter this word will help you transition from textbook learning to real-world fluency.
- 1. Daily Social Interactions
- In daily life, you'll hear this verb when people share items or information. At a dinner table, someone might say 'Yu'ṭīka al-ṣiḥḥa' (May He [God] give you health) as a blessing. In a shop, you might ask the clerk, 'Hal tu'ṭīnī hādhā al-qamīṣ?' (Will you give/hand me this shirt?). It's the go-to verb for the physical act of passing something.
المُضِيفُ يُعْطِي الضُّيُوفَ قَهْوَةً عَرَبِيَّةً.
2. **Media and News**: In the world of journalism, يُعْطِي is used to describe political and social developments. You will hear phrases like 'The government gives priority to education' or 'The president gives a speech'. It is also used in weather reports: 'The clouds give hope for rain'. The verb provides a sense of formal action and official delivery.
- 3. Religious and Ethical Discourse
- Arabic is the language of Islam, and the concept of divine giving is central. In Friday sermons (Khutbah), preachers often talk about how 'Allah gives to whom He wills without account'. The verb is used to encourage charity and selflessness among the community.
اللهُ يُعْطِي الرِّزْقَ لِجَمِيعِ المَخْلُوقَاتِ.
4. **Academic and Professional Settings**: In a classroom, a teacher 'gives' (yu'ṭī) a lecture or 'gives' (yu'ṭī) grades. In an office, a manager 'gives' (yu'ṭī) feedback or 'gives' (yu'ṭī) a deadline. It is the standard verb for the professional delegation of tasks and information.
- 5. Literature and Poetry
- In Arabic poetry, the verb is used metaphorically. A lover's eyes 'give' a look of longing, or the spring 'gives' life to the earth. It is a verb of creation and manifestation in the literary world.
القَصِيدَةُ تُعْطِي صُورَةً جَمِيلَةً عَنِ الحَيَاةِ.
Even though يُعْطِي is a common verb, it presents several pitfalls for English speakers and beginning Arabic learners. These mistakes usually stem from grammatical interference from English or the complexities of Arabic's weak-root system. Recognizing these early will significantly improve your accuracy.
- Mistake 1: Overusing Prepositions
- In English, we say 'Give it TO him'. Many learners try to translate this literally as 'Yu'ṭīhu ilayhi'. While 'li-' (to) can be used, the most natural Arabic structure is to use two direct objects. Incorrect: 'Yu'ṭī al-kitāb li-Zayd' (less common). Correct: 'Yu'ṭī Zaydan al-kitāb'.
خَطَأ: يُعْطِي الكِتَابَ إِلَى الطَّالِبِ. (صَحّ: يُعْطِي الطَّالِبَ الكِتَابَ)
Mistake 2: **Confusion with 'Ata' (To Come)**: The root ع-ط-ي (giving) is often confused with the root أ-ت-ي (coming). The verb ya'tī (يَأْتِي) means 'he comes', while yu'ṭī (يُعْطِي) means 'he gives'. The difference is in the first vowel (a vs u) and the presence of the hamza. Mixing these up can lead to very confusing sentences like 'He comes me the book' instead of 'He gives me the book'.
- Mistake 3: Spelling the Final Yaa
- In some scripts or informal writing, people forget the two dots under the final Yaa (ي), making it look like an Alif Maqsura (ى). In 'yu'ṭī', the final letter is a Yaa and must be pronounced as a long 'ee' sound. If written as 'yu'ṭā', it becomes the passive 'is given'.
تَنْبِيه: لَا تَنْسَ النُّقْطَتَيْنِ تَحْتَ اليَاء فِي يُعْطِي.
Mistake 4: **Incorrect Jussive Conjugation**: When the verb is preceded by a negator like 'lam' (did not), the final Yaa must be dropped. Learners often say 'Lam yu'ṭī' (incorrect) instead of 'Lam yu'ṭi' (correct). This is a common error even among intermediate students who forget the rules for defective verbs.
- Mistake 5: Confusing Form IV with Form I
- Some learners try to use the root in Form I (a-ṭa-ya), which is not used in modern Arabic to mean 'give'. Always remember that 'giving' requires the Form IV prefix 'yu-' in the present tense.
تَذَكَّر: الفِعْلُ هُوَ يُعْطِي (بِضَمِّ اليَاء) وَلَيْسَ يَعْطِي.
While يُعْطِي is the most common verb for giving, Arabic is a rich language with many synonyms that carry specific nuances. Choosing the right word can elevate your speaking from basic to sophisticated. Here, we compare يُعْطِي with its closest relatives.
- يُعْطِي (Yu'ṭī) vs. يَمْنَحُ (Yamnaḥu)
- يُعْطِي is general and can be used for anything. يَمْنَحُ (to grant/award) is more formal and often implies giving something of value, an award, a degree, or a formal right. You 'give' a pen, but you 'grant' a scholarship.
الجَامِعَةُ تَمْنَحُ الشَّهَادَاتِ لِلْخِرِّيجِينَ.
Another important alternative is يَهَبُ (Yahabu). This verb comes from the root w-h-b, which means to bestow or donate without expecting anything in return. It is often used for divine gifts (like life or children) or for large charitable donations. While يُعْطِي can be a simple exchange, يَهَبُ is an act of pure benevolence.
- يُعْطِي (Yu'ṭī) vs. يُقَدِّمُ (Yuqaddimu)
- يُقَدِّمُ literally means 'to present' or 'to offer'. It is used when you give something formally, like a presentation, an offer, or a gift in a respectful manner. If you are 'giving' a report to your boss, يُقَدِّمُ is more appropriate than يُعْطِي.
الطَّالِبُ يُقَدِّمُ بَحْثَهُ لِلْأُسْتَاذِ.
Finally, consider يُنَاوِلُ (Yunāwilu), which means 'to hand over'. This is used specifically for physical objects within arm's reach. If you ask someone to 'hand' you the salt at the table, يُنَاوِلُ is the precise verb to use. يُعْطِي is broader and could mean giving the salt as a gift, whereas يُنَاوِلُ is just the physical transfer.

نکات
Double Accusative
Remember that both objects of 'yu'ṭī' are in the accusative case (mansub). If you use nouns, they will often end in a fatha.
Abstract Giving
Don't limit 'yu'ṭī' to physical objects. Use it for 'attention', 'importance', 'hope', and 'advice' to sound more natural.
The Emphatic T
The 'ṭā' in 'yu'ṭī' is emphatic. Practice making a dull, heavy sound by pressing your tongue against the palate.
Final Yaa Dots
Always put the two dots under the final Yaa. Without them, it looks like 'yu'ṭā' (is given), which is passive.
Generosity Phrases
Learn phrases like 'yu'ṭīka al-'āfiya' to use when someone does something for you. It's a very common cultural expression.
Identify Form IV
The 'yu-' prefix is a signal for Form IV. This helps you distinguish 'giving' from other verbs with the same root.
Polite Imperatives
The imperative 'A'ṭinī' can be strong. Soften it with 'law samaḥt' (if you please) or 'min fadlak' (from your favor).
Tea Mnemonic
Use the 'You-Tea' mnemonic. It's simple and links the sound directly to the act of giving.
Jussive Mood
Watch out for 'lam'. It's a common test question. 'Lam yu'ṭī' is wrong; 'Lam yu'ṭi' is right.
Vary Your Verbs
As you reach B1/B2, try to use 'yamnahu' or 'yuqaddimu' in formal writing to show off your range.
حفظ کنید
روش یادسپاری
Think of 'You' (yu) 'Tea' (ṭī). Imagine you are giving someone a cup of tea. 'Yu-ṭī' sounds like 'You tea'.
تداعی تصویری
Visualize a hand reaching out from a cloud (divine giving) or a person handing a golden key to another.

چالش
Try to use 'yu'ṭī' in three different sentences today: one for a physical object, one for advice, and one for time.
ریشه کلمه
From the Proto-Semitic root ʿ-ṭ-y, which relates to the physical act of reaching out or extending the hand to provide something.
معنای اصلی: To extend or hand over.
Semitic / Afroasiatic.بافت فرهنگی
Be mindful that in some contexts, 'giving' can imply a hierarchy. Using polite forms like 'tafaddal' helps balance the social dynamic.
English speakers often use 'give' for many things. In Arabic, while 'yu'ṭī' is common, using 'yamnahu' for awards makes you sound more educated.

Summary
The verb يُعْطِي (yu'ṭī) is the primary way to express 'giving' in Arabic. It is a Form IV verb that typically takes two direct objects. Example: 'Yu'ṭī al-waladu al-qiṭṭata labanan' (The boy gives the cat milk).
- A versatile verb meaning 'to give' in the present tense.
- Commonly used for both physical objects and abstract concepts.
- Requires two objects: the person receiving and the thing given.
- Essential for daily communication, charity, and professional life.
Double Accusative
Remember that both objects of 'yu'ṭī' are in the accusative case (mansub). If you use nouns, they will often end in a fatha.
Abstract Giving
Don't limit 'yu'ṭī' to physical objects. Use it for 'attention', 'importance', 'hope', and 'advice' to sound more natural.
The Emphatic T
The 'ṭā' in 'yu'ṭī' is emphatic. Practice making a dull, heavy sound by pressing your tongue against the palate.
Final Yaa Dots
Always put the two dots under the final Yaa. Without them, it looks like 'yu'ṭā' (is given), which is passive.
