مُقَابَلَة 30초 만에

  • Muqābala primarily means 'interview' in job or media contexts, implying a formal Q&A session.
  • It originates from the root Q-B-L, meaning 'to face', highlighting the face-to-face nature of the meeting.
  • In North Africa, it is frequently used to mean a 'sports match' or 'game' between two teams.
  • It is a Form III verbal noun, which grammatically signifies an action involving two participating parties.

The word مُقَابَلَة (muqābala) is a multifaceted Arabic noun derived from the root ق-ب-ل (Q-B-L), which fundamentally relates to the concept of 'facing' or 'being in front of' something. In its most common modern usage, it refers to a formal encounter between two or more parties, most notably a job interview or a journalistic interview. However, its semantic range extends into sports, where it signifies a 'match' or 'game', and into literature, where it describes a specific rhetorical device of contrast.

Root Origin
Derived from Form III (Mufa'ala), which implies reciprocity—an action done between two parties.
Primary Context
Professional settings, media, and competitive sports.
Grammatical Form
Masdar (Verbal Noun) of the verb قَابَلَ (to meet/to interview).

"لَدَيَّ مُقَابَلَةُ عَمَلٍ هَامَّةٍ صَبَاحَ الغَدِ فِي الشَّرِكَةِ."(I have an important job interview tomorrow morning at the company.)

When we look at the word through a sociological lens, it implies a structured interaction. Unlike a casual meeting (اجتماع) or a random encounter (لقاء), a muqābala usually has a specific objective: evaluation, information gathering, or competition. In a job context, it is the gatekeeping mechanism. In media, it is the tool for extraction of truth or opinion. The 'facing' aspect of the root suggests a direct, eye-to-eye confrontation, which is why it is also used for sports matches where two teams face off.

سَاهَمَتِ المُقَابَلَةُ التِّلِفِزْيُونِيَّةُ فِي تَوضِيحِ الحَقَائِقِ.

انْتَهَتِ المُقَابَلَةُ بِتَعَادُلِ الفَرِيقَيْنِ.

Using مُقَابَلَة correctly requires understanding its collocations. In a professional context, it is almost always followed by the word 'amal (work) to form مُقَابَلَة عَمَل (job interview). If you are talking about the news, you might say مُقَابَلَة حَصْرِيَّة (exclusive interview). The verb that usually precedes it is ajra (أجرى), meaning 'to conduct'. You don't just 'do' an interview; you 'conduct' it or 'undergo' it.

Conducting an Interview
أجرى مقابلة (Ajrā muqābala)
Preparing for an Interview
التحضير للمقابلة (Al-tahdīr lil-muqābala)

In sports, the word is used interchangeably with 'mubarah' (مباراة), though 'muqabala' is more common in Maghrebi dialects (North Africa) to refer to a football match. In Modern Standard Arabic, you will see it in headlines like 'The match between X and Y'.

You will encounter this word daily if you follow Arabic media. News anchors frequently introduce segments by saying, 'We now have an interview with...' (معنا مقابلة مع). In the corporate world, HR departments (إدارة الموارد البشرية) use it constantly. If you are applying for a visa, the embassy will schedule a muqābala shakhsiya (personal interview).

شَاهَدْتُ مُقَابَلَةً مَعَ الكَاتِبِ فِي القَنَاةِ الثَّانِيَةِ.

A frequent error for learners is confusing مُقَابَلَة with مُقَابِل. While they share the same root, muqābil usually means 'opposite' or 'in exchange for'. Another mistake is using 'ijtima' (meeting) when you specifically mean a job interview. If you tell an employer 'I have an ijtima', they might think you are already part of the team having a staff meeting, rather than a candidate being interviewed.

Several words overlap with مُقَابَلَة. لِقَاء (Liqā') is a general meeting or encounter, often used for talk shows (e.g., 'Liqā' al-Yawm'). اجْتِمَاع (Ijtima') is a formal business meeting. مُوَاجَهَة (Muwājaha) is a confrontation, often more aggressive or direct than a standard interview. نَدْوَة (Nadwa) is a seminar or symposium.
