تَصَالَحَ
تَصَالَحَ 30초 만에
- To make up after a fight.
- Reciprocal (two-way) action.
- Root S-L-H (goodness/peace).
- Used in personal and political contexts.
The Arabic verb تَصَالَحَ (taṣālaḥa) is a Form VI verb derived from the root ص - ل - ح (ṣ-l-ḥ), which fundamentally relates to being good, righteous, or in a state of repair. In Form VI, the prefix ta- and the long vowel ā after the first radical signify reciprocity. This means the action is performed by two or more parties upon each other. Therefore, taṣālaḥa doesn't just mean 'to be good,' but 'to make things good between one another,' or simply, to reconcile.
- Reciprocal Nature
- Because it is a Form VI verb, it inherently implies that both sides are participating in the peace-making process. You rarely see this verb with a single subject unless the other party is introduced with the preposition مَعَ (with).
بَعْدَ سَنَوَاتٍ مِنَ الخِلافِ، تَصَالَحَ الأخَوَانِ أخِيرًا.
After years of disagreement, the two brothers finally reconciled.
This word is extremely common in both daily social interactions and formal political discourse. In a social context, it describes friends patching things up after a misunderstanding. In a political context, it describes warring factions or nations reaching a peace agreement or 'Musalaha' (reconciliation). It carries a positive, restorative connotation, suggesting that the natural state of 'goodness' has been returned to a relationship that was previously broken.
- Cultural Weight
- In many Arab cultures, the concept of 'Sulh' (peace/reconciliation) is a formal social mechanism used to resolve tribal or familial disputes without resorting to courts. Thus, تَصَالَحَ represents a deeply respected social virtue.
هَلْ تَصَالَحْتَ مَعَ صَدِيقِكَ؟
Did you reconcile with your friend?
The verb follows the standard pattern for Form VI past tense: taṣālaḥa (he reconciled), yataṣālaḥu (he reconciles), taṣāluḥ (reconciliation - verbal noun). It is a regular verb, making it relatively easy for A2 learners to conjugate once they recognize the pattern.
Using تَصَالَحَ correctly requires understanding its grammatical requirements and its semantic range. As a reciprocal verb, it often takes a dual or plural subject. For example, تَصَالَحَ الجِيرَانُ (The neighbors reconciled). Here, the action is mutual. If you are describing one person initiating or participating in the act with another, you use the preposition مَعَ (with).
- Sentence Structure A: Plural Subject
- [Verb] + [Plural/Dual Subject]. Example: تَصَالَحَ الزَّوْجَانِ (The spouses reconciled).
يَجِبُ أَنْ نَتَصَالَحَ مِنْ أجْلِ الأطْفَالِ.
We must reconcile for the sake of the children.
- Sentence Structure B: Singular Subject + Preposition
- [Verb] + [Subject] + مَعَ + [Object]. Example: تَصَالَحَ أحْمَدُ مَعَ خَالِدٍ (Ahmed reconciled with Khalid).
It is also important to note the context of the reconciliation. You can add a reason or a time frame using بَعْدَ (after) or بِسَبَبِ (because of). This helps clarify the 'why' behind the reconciliation. In formal writing, تَصَالَحَ is often used in the context of international relations, where 'parties' (الأطراف) reconcile to end a conflict.
لَنْ يَتَصَالَحَا أبَدًا بِدُونِ مُسَاعَدَةٍ.
They (dual) will never reconcile without help.
In the present tense, the conjugation follows the pattern يَتَصَالَحُ. For example, نَحْنُ نَتَصَالَحُ الآنَ (We are reconciling now). It implies a process of negotiation and coming together. In the imperative, you might hear تَصَالَحَا! (You two, reconcile!) when a parent is speaking to fighting children.
You will encounter تَصَالَحَ in a variety of settings, ranging from the very intimate to the highly public. In an Arabic-speaking household, this is the go-to word for ending a 'za'al' (a state of being upset with someone). If siblings are fighting, a mother might say يَلَّا، تَصَالَحُوا (Come on, reconcile/make up). It’s a word that signals the end of tension and the return of harmony.
- In Media and News
- On news channels like Al Jazeera or Al Arabiya, you will frequently hear this verb in reports about peace talks. Phrases like تَصَالَحَتِ الفَصَائِلُ الفِلَسْطِينِيَّةُ (The Palestinian factions reconciled) are common headlines. Here, it carries a weight of historical significance and political hope.
تَحَاوُلُ الحُكُومَةُ أنْ تَتَصَالَحَ مَعَ المُعَارَضَةِ.
The government is trying to reconcile with the opposition.
In Arabic literature and soap operas (Musalsalat), the moment of taṣāluḥ is usually the climax of a long-running conflict. It is often portrayed with high emotion, involving handshakes, hugs, or the sharing of a meal. This reflects the cultural value placed on 'keeping the bond' (صِلَة الرَّحِم) especially among family members.
بَعْدَ الخِصَامِ، مِنَ الجَمِيلِ أنْ نَتَصَالَحَ.
After the estrangement, it is beautiful that we reconcile.
In a legal or business context, تَصَالَحَ might refer to an out-of-court settlement. If two companies have a dispute over a contract, they might choose to reconcile (تَصَالَحَا) rather than proceed with a costly lawsuit. This usage highlights the word's connection to pragmatism and 'fixing' a broken situation.
The most frequent mistakes with تَصَالَحَ usually involve confusion between the different forms of the root ص - ل - ح. Because this root is so productive, learners often mix up Form II, Form III, Form IV, and Form VI.
- Mistake 1: Using it with a Direct Object
- Incorrect: تَصَالَحْتُهُ (I reconciled him).
Correct: تَصَالَحْتُ مَعَهُ (I reconciled with him).
Form VI is intransitive or requires a preposition because the action is shared, not directed at an object.
لا تَقُل: تَصَالَحْتُ صَدِيقِي. قُل: تَصَالَحْتُ مَعَ صَدِيقِي.
Don't say: I reconciled my friend. Say: I reconciled with my friend.
- Mistake 2: Confusing Forms
-
- أصْلَحَ (Form IV): To fix/repair something (like a car) or to mediate between people.
- صَالَحَ (Form III): To make peace with someone (similar, but less emphasis on reciprocity).
- تَصَالَحَ (Form VI): To reconcile with each other.
Another mistake is forgetting the vowel changes in the present tense. In Form VI, the prefix ya- has a fatha, and the penultimate vowel is a fatha in the past (taṣālaḥa) but a kasra in the present (yataṣālaḥu). Some learners keep the fatha throughout, which is incorrect in Modern Standard Arabic.
المُشْكِلَةُ تَصَالَحَتْ (Wrong: The problem reconciled).
المُشْكِلَةُ تَصَلَّحَتْ (Right: The problem was fixed).
While تَصَالَحَ is the most direct word for reconciliation, Arabic offers several synonyms depending on the context and the 'flavor' of the peace being made.
- 1. سَاوَى (Sāwā) / تَسْوِيَة (Taswiya)
- This means 'to settle' or 'to level.' It is often used for settling accounts or reaching a compromise in a business or legal dispute where both sides give a little to reach a middle ground.
- 2. اتَّفَقَ (Ittafaqa)
- Meaning 'to agree.' While reconciliation implies a previous conflict, ittafaqa simply means coming to a common understanding. You can ittafaqa without having been in a fight.
تَصَالَحَا بَعْدَ أنْ اتَّفَقَا عَلَى الشُّرُوطِ.
They reconciled after they agreed on the terms.
- 3. سَالَمَ (Sālama)
- From the root s-l-m (peace). This means 'to make peace with' or 'to treat peacefully.' It is more formal and often used in the context of ending wars (mu'āhadat salām - peace treaty).
If you want to emphasize the emotional aspect of 'making up' in a casual setting, you might hear the dialect term رَاضَى (to please/satisfy someone). But in any formal or standard writing, تَصَالَحَ remains the most sophisticated and accurate choice.
الغُفْرَانُ يُؤَدِّي إلَى التَّصَالُحِ.
Forgiveness leads to reconciliation.

팁
The Power of Form VI
Remember that Form VI (ta-faa-ala) always suggests 'doing something together'. This helps you remember that 'tasalaha' is a mutual act.
Root Power
Learn the root S-L-H. Knowing it means 'good/fit' will help you understand 'tasalaha' (reconcile), 'aslaha' (fix), and 'salih' (pious).
The Sulh Concept
Understanding that 'Sulh' is a major cultural pillar in Arab society will help you see why this word is so important and respected.
Emphatic S
Practice the 'Sad' (ص). If you say it like a 'Seen' (س), the word might sound different or weaker.
The Alif is Key
Don't forget the long 'alif' after the first root letter. It's the 'ā' that makes it Form VI.
Context Clues
If you hear 'khilaf' (dispute) or 'za'al' (upset), listen for 'tasalaha' as the happy ending.
Together Agree
Associate the 'T' and 'A' in 'TAsalaha' with 'Together' and 'Agree'.
Regional Variations
In some places, you'll hear 'tsaalih'. Don't worry, the root and meaning are the same.
Reconcile vs. Forgive
'Tasalaha' is a bigger step than just 'Samaha' (forgiving). It means the relationship is active again.
Self-Reconciliation
Use it for personal growth: 'Tasalhtu ma'a nafsi' (I reconciled with myself).
암기하기
기억법
Think of 'Two (T) people Saw (Sa) a Lake (Lah) and decided to stop fighting (Ha).' The 'Ta' and long 'a' tell you it's a mutual 'Two-way' action.
시각적 연상
Imagine two hands shaking over a broken fence that is being mended. The handshake represents the 'Ta' (reciprocity) and the mending represents the 'S-L-H' (repairing/goodness).
Word Web
챌린지
Try to use 'tasalaha' in a sentence about two countries, then about two family members, then about yourself and a bad habit.
어원
From the Semitic root S-L-H (ص ل ح), which appears across various Semitic languages with meanings related to being fit, proper, or good.
원래 의미: The primary meaning is 'to be in a good state' or 'to be suitable.'
Afroasiatic -> Semitic -> Central Semitic -> Arabic.문화적 맥락
Be careful when using it in highly sensitive political contexts, as 'reconciliation' can sometimes be a loaded term if one party feels forced into it.
In English, 'reconcile' can sound formal or religious. In Arabic, 'tasalaha' is used for everything from children making up to international treaties.

Summary
تَصَالَحَ is the essential Arabic verb for 'to reconcile.' Its Form VI structure tells you it's a mutual effort between two parties. Example: تَصَالَحَ الأَصْدِقَاءُ (The friends made up).
- To make up after a fight.
- Reciprocal (two-way) action.
- Root S-L-H (goodness/peace).
- Used in personal and political contexts.
The Power of Form VI
Remember that Form VI (ta-faa-ala) always suggests 'doing something together'. This helps you remember that 'tasalaha' is a mutual act.
Root Power
Learn the root S-L-H. Knowing it means 'good/fit' will help you understand 'tasalaha' (reconcile), 'aslaha' (fix), and 'salih' (pious).
The Sulh Concept
Understanding that 'Sulh' is a major cultural pillar in Arab society will help you see why this word is so important and respected.
Emphatic S
Practice the 'Sad' (ص). If you say it like a 'Seen' (س), the word might sound different or weaker.
