يساوي
يساوي 30 सेकंड में
- Primary verb for 'equals' in math and value.
- Form III verb (yusāwī) from root S-W-Y.
- Used for prices, measurements, and abstract equality.
- Requires gender agreement with the subject (yusāwī/tusāwī).
The Arabic verb يساوي (yusāwī) is a cornerstone of both mathematical logic and everyday comparison in the Arabic language. At its most fundamental level, it denotes a state of being equal to, equivalent to, or worth a specific value or entity. Derived from the root s-w-y (س-و-ي), which relates to evenness, straightness, and balance, this Form III verb implies an active relationship of parity between two subjects.
- Mathematical Parity
- Used to express equations, such as 2+2=4.
- Financial Value
- Used to describe the price or worth of an object in a marketplace.
- Abstract Equivalence
- Used to compare efforts, rights, or social standing.

- This book is worth ten dollars.
In the context of the CEFR A1 level, learners primarily encounter يساوي in basic arithmetic and shopping scenarios. However, as one progresses, the word expands into the realm of social justice and philosophy. The concept of musāwāh (equality) stems directly from this verb, highlighting its importance in legal and human rights discourses across the Arab world.

- Grammar Note
- It is a transitive verb that takes a direct object (the value it equals).
Using يساوي requires understanding its role as a bridge between two identical or comparable values. In a sentence, the subject is the thing being measured, and the object is the measure itself. Because it is a Form III verb (فاعَلَ), it carries a sense of 'acting upon' the state of equality.
- Mathematics: Use it as the '=' sign. 'خمسة في خمسة يساوي خمسة وعشرين' (5x5=25).
- Valuation: When asking about worth. 'كم يساوي هذا الخاتم؟' (How much is this ring worth?).
- Comparison: 'هذا العمل يساوي ذاك' (This work is equal to that).
Conjugation follows the standard pattern for Form III verbs with a weak final radical (Ya). In the present tense (Mudari'), it is يساوي (he equals), تساوي (she/you equal), and أساوي (I equal). Note that when the subject is feminine, the verb must agree: 'هذه التفاحة تساوي تلك' (This apple equals that one).
In higher-level discourse, يساوي is used metaphorically. For instance, 'صمته يساوي اعترافاً' (His silence equals a confession). Here, the verb elevates a simple action to a significant meaning, acting as a logical operator in the sentence structure.
You will encounter يساوي in several distinct environments:
- The Classroom: From the first grade, students learn their 'Jadwal al-Darb' (multiplication tables) using this verb. It is the primary way to express results in math, physics, and chemistry.
- The Souq (Market): While 'bi-kam' (how much) is common for asking prices, يساوي is used when discussing the intrinsic value of gold, currency exchange rates, or high-ticket items. 'الدولار يساوي اليوم...' (The dollar equals today...).
- News and Media: In political debates regarding 'al-musāwāh' (equality), commentators use the verb to discuss whether different groups are being treated equally under the law.
- Legal Settings: In contracts, specifying that one amount is equivalent to another often utilizes this verb to ensure clarity and prevent disputes.
Learners often stumble on a few specific areas when using يساوي:
- Confusing with 'Same' (Nafs): Many students try to use 'يساوي' to mean 'identical in appearance.' While 'يساوي' means equal in value or measure, 'نفس' (nafs) or 'متطابق' (mutatābiq) is used for identical physical properties.
- Gender Agreement: Forgetting that the verb must agree with the subject. If you are talking about 'العملة' (the currency - feminine), you must say 'تساوي' not 'يساوي'.
- Preposition Overuse: Some learners try to add 'بـ' (bi-) or 'مع' (ma'a) after the verb. Correct usage is direct: 'A يساوي B', not 'A يساوي مع B'.
- Root Confusion: Mixing it up with 'سوى' (siwā - meaning 'except') or 'استوى' (istawā - meaning 'to be cooked' or 'to sit upright').
To enrich your vocabulary, compare يساوي with these related terms:
- يعادل (Yu'ādil)
- Often used for physical balance or sports scores (e.g., a draw). It implies a more dynamic sense of neutralizing or offsetting something.
- يماثل (Yumāthil)
- Focuses on similarity and resemblance. If two things look exactly alike, they 'yumāthil' each other.
- يشبه (Yushbih)
- The general word for 'to look like' or 'to resemble,' without the strict mathematical equality of 'yusāwī'.
- يقابل (Yuqābil)
- To correspond to. Used when one thing stands in place of another in a different system.
