설명 يَخيط in your Level:

At the A1 level, you only need to know that 'yakhiit' means 'to sew'. Think of it as a basic action word like 'to eat' or 'to sleep'. You might use it to describe what a person does with a needle. For example, 'The tailor sews clothes.' It's a useful word when talking about simple jobs or hobbies. You don't need to worry about complex grammar yet; just focus on the present tense 'yakhiit' (he sews) and 'takhiit' (she sews). You will mostly see it in picture books or basic vocabulary lists about clothes. Remember: needle + thread = yakhiit. It is a very concrete word at this stage, used for physical objects you can touch, like a shirt or a hat. Learning this word helps you describe common people in your neighborhood, like the local tailor.

At the A2 level, you start using 'yakhiit' in more complete sentences. You can describe daily routines or simple past events. You might say 'Yesterday, my mother sewed my bag.' You should also learn the word for the person who does the sewing: 'Khayyat' (tailor). You can now use the verb with more objects like 'buttons', 'torn clothes', or 'curtains'. At this stage, you're learning to combine the verb with tools, like 'with a needle' (bi-ibra). You're also beginning to see the difference between 'sewing' and 'buying'. It's about expanding your ability to describe household tasks and simple professional actions. You might also encounter the word in simple stories where a character is making something by hand.

At the B1 level, you should be comfortable with the conjugation of 'yakhiit' in past, present, and future. You can discuss hobbies like fashion design or describe the process of making a garment in more detail. You'll understand that 'yakhiit' is used for both hand-sewing and machine-sewing. This level also introduces the medical use of the word—stitching a wound. You can participate in conversations about clothing repairs or custom-made outfits. You should understand the root 'Kh-Y-T' and how it relates to 'Khayt' (thread). You can also start using adverbs to describe how someone sews, such as 'skillfully' or 'quickly'. This is the level where the word becomes a functional part of your vocabulary for real-world interactions like visiting a tailor shop.

At the B2 level, you can use 'yakhiit' in more abstract or technical contexts. You might discuss the textile industry, labor conditions in garment factories, or the cultural significance of traditional sewing. You understand the passive form 'yukhat' (is sewn) and can use it to describe manufacturing processes. You are also able to distinguish 'yakhiit' from more specific verbs like 'yutarriz' (to embroider) or 'yahuuk' (to knit). Your sentences become more complex, such as 'The garment was sewn with such precision that the seams were invisible.' You can also understand metaphorical uses in literature where 'stitching' refers to bringing people or ideas together. At this level, you have a nuanced understanding of the word's place in both MSA and professional dialects.

연습하기 예시 노트와 팁

يَخيط 30초 만에

Yakhiit is the Arabic verb for 'to sew', used for making or fixing clothes with needle and thread.
It comes from the root Kh-Y-T and is a very common word in daily life and markets.
The word is also used by doctors when they stitch or suture a wound after surgery.
Metaphorically, it can mean stitching together ideas, plans, or social connections in formal Arabic.

The Arabic verb يَخيط (yakhiitu), derived from the root خ-ي-ط (Kh-Y-T), primarily refers to the physical act of joining pieces of fabric or material together using a needle and thread. In its most literal sense, it is the cornerstone of the garment industry and household maintenance. When you see a tailor at work or a grandmother repairing a torn sleeve, the action being performed is al-khiyata (sewing). This verb is essential for anyone navigating daily life in an Arabic-speaking environment, as it covers everything from a simple button repair to the creation of elaborate traditional garments like the Thobe or Abaya.

Literal Application: The most common usage involves textiles. It describes the professional work of a خياط (khayyat/tailor) or the domestic task of mending.
Medical Context: Interestingly, the verb is also used in surgical settings. When a surgeon closes a wound with sutures, the term يخيط الجرح (yakhiitu al-jurh) is employed, mirroring the English 'to stitch a wound'.
Metaphorical Usage: Beyond the physical, it can describe the act of 'weaving' or 'stitching' a plan or a story together, though other verbs like nasaja are more common for abstract weaving. However, 'stitching' a solution to a problem is a valid figurative extension.

يَخيطُ الخَيّاطُ ثَوْباً جَديداً لِلْعيدِ.
(The tailor is sewing a new garment for the Eid.)

In the Arab world, the 'Khayyat' is a central figure in the community. Unlike many Western cultures where ready-to-wear fashion dominates, custom-made clothing remains highly popular. Consequently, you will hear this verb frequently when discussing fashion, weddings, or religious holidays. The verb is also used in the context of industrial manufacturing, describing the operation of sewing machines in large factories. Understanding the nuances of this word requires recognizing the cultural value placed on craftsmanship and the preservation of traditional attire.

هَلْ تَعْرِفُ مَنْ يَخيطُ مَلابِسَ الرِّجالِ هُنا؟
(Do you know who sews men's clothes here?)

The verb follows the Form I pattern (Fa-’a-la) but is hollow (Mu’tall al-’Ayn) in its past form خاطَ (khata). In the present tense, the middle radical 'Ya' is prominent: يَخيط. This phonetic structure is important for learners to master, as the 'i' sound in the present tense distinguishes it from other verbs that might look similar in their root form. The act of sewing is often associated with patience (sabr) and precision (diqqa), making the verb a symbol of careful labor in Arabic literature and proverbs.

Using the verb يَخيط requires an understanding of its transitivity. It is a transitive verb, meaning it typically takes a direct object—the item being sewn. Whether it is a qamis (shirt), a fustan (dress), or a jurh (wound), the object receives the action directly. The verb can be used in various tenses, though the present tense yakhiitu is most common when describing ongoing work or professional habits.

Present Continuous: To describe what someone is doing right now: أُمّي تَخيطُ الفُسْتانَ الآنَ (My mother is sewing the dress now).
Habitual Action: To describe a profession: هُوَ يَخيطُ لِأَشْهَرِ المَصانِعِ (He sews for the most famous factories).
Imperative Form: When giving a command: خِطْ هَذا الزِّرَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ (Sew this button, please). Note the shortening of the root in the command form.

يَخيطُ الطَّبيبُ الجُرْحَ بِعِنايَةٍ فائِقَةٍ.
(The doctor stitches the wound with extreme care.)

When constructing sentences, it is helpful to include the tools used. The most common prepositional phrase used with yakhiit is bi-al-ibra wa al-khayt (with needle and thread). This adds descriptive depth to the sentence. Furthermore, the verb can be modified by adverbs like yidawiyan (manually/by hand) or bi-al-ala (by machine) to specify the method of sewing.

تَعَلَّمَتْ كَيْفَ تَخيطُ مَلابِسَها بِنَفْسِها.
(She learned how to sew her clothes by herself.)

In more advanced usage, you might encounter the passive form yukhatu (is sewn). This is useful in descriptions of products: hadha al-qimash yukhatu fi Italia (this fabric is sewn in Italy). Mastering these variations allows the learner to transition from simple observations to complex descriptions of manufacturing and craftsmanship.

The word يَخيط is not just a vocabulary item; it is a soundscape of daily life in many parts of the Middle East and North Africa. If you walk through the old souks (markets) of Cairo, Damascus, or Marrakech, the word is ubiquitous. You will hear customers asking tailors 'Mata takhiitu li hadha?' (When will you sew this for me?) or discussing the quality of the stitching. It is a word of the marketplace, the workshop, and the home.

The Tailor Shop (Al-Khayyat): This is the primary habitat of the word. Conversations here revolve around measurements, fabric types, and the time required to yakhiit a garment.
Hospitals and Clinics: In a medical context, patients might ask 'Hal sata-khiitu al-jurh?' (Will you stitch the wound?), making it a vital word for emergency situations.
Documentaries and News: When reporting on the textile industry or economic developments in manufacturing, news anchors use the verb to describe production levels.

كانَ صَوْتُ الماكينَةِ وَهِيَ تَخيطُ يَمْلأُ الغُرْفَةَ.
(The sound of the machine as it was sewing filled the room.)

In television dramas (Musalsalat), particularly those set in historical periods, the act of sewing is often a plot point. A character might be seen yakhiitu a secret message into the lining of a coat, or a poor mother might be takhiitu rags to keep her children warm. These visual and auditory cues reinforce the word's association with labor, care, and sometimes, secrecy. In literature, the verb is used to describe the meticulous nature of a writer or a thinker, 'stitching' ideas into a cohesive whole.

يَخيطُ العُمّالُ آلافَ القُمصانِ يَوْمِيّاً.
(The workers sew thousands of shirts daily.)

Even in modern tech-savvy urban areas, the 'repair culture' remains strong. People often take their expensive brand-name clothes to a local tailor to be altered. In these interactions, yakhiit is the operative verb. You might hear someone say, 'Ikhit li hadha al-bansitalon' (Sew/alter these pants for me). It bridges the gap between traditional craft and modern consumerism.

For English speakers learning Arabic, the verb يَخيط presents a few linguistic hurdles. The most frequent errors involve confusing it with other textile-related verbs or misapplying its conjugation patterns. Because Arabic has specific verbs for different types of fabric work, using yakhiit as a catch-all term can lead to inaccuracies.

Sewing vs. Knitting: A common mistake is using yakhiit for knitting. Knitting (with wool and needles) is يَحوك (yahuuku). Yakhiit is strictly for needle and thread work.
Sewing vs. Weaving: Weaving fabric on a loom is يَنْسِج (yansiju). While related, they are distinct processes. Yakhiit happens after the fabric is already woven.
Conjugation of 'Khata': Learners often forget that the past tense is khata (he sewed) and try to say 'khayata'. The 'ya' disappears in the past tense of this hollow verb.

خَطَأ: هِيَ تَخيطُ كَنْزَةً مِنَ الصّوفِ.
(Wrong: She is sewing a wool sweater—unless she's using a needle and thread on wool fabric.)

Another mistake is the confusion between the verb yakhiit and the noun khayt (thread). While they share the same root, they cannot be used interchangeably. You cannot 'thread a dress' in the way you 'sew a dress'. Furthermore, in some dialects, the pronunciation of the 'kh' and 't' might shift, but in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), they must remain crisp and clear.

صَحّ: هِيَ تَحوكُ كَنْزَةً، وَتَخيطُ قَميصاً.
(Correct: She knits a sweater and sews a shirt.)

Lastly, be careful with the word khayyata. While it looks like a verb, it is actually the noun for 'sewing' or the profession of a female tailor. Using the noun when you need the verb is a frequent beginner error. Always ensure you are using the correct person markers (ya-, ta-, a-, na-) to denote the action.

While يَخيط is the standard verb for sewing, Arabic is a rich language with specific terms for related actions. Knowing these alternatives helps you sound more like a native speaker and allows for more precise communication. Depending on whether you are repairing, creating, or decorating, you might choose a different word.

يَرْفو (Yarfu) - To Darn/Mend: Specifically used for repairing a hole in fabric by weaving thread across it. It is more specific than the general 'sewing'.
يُطَرِّز (Yutarriz) - To Embroider: This refers to decorative sewing. If you are adding patterns or flowers with thread, you are yutarriz, not just yakhiit.
يُفَصِّل (Yufassil) - To Tailor/Cut to Size: While a tailor sews, the act of designing and cutting the fabric to fit a specific person is called tafsil.

لا يَخيطُ المَلابِسَ فَقَطْ، بَلْ يُطَرِّزُها أَيْضاً.
(He doesn't just sew clothes; he embroiders them too.)

In a medical context, you might hear yugharriz (to stitch/suture). While yakhiit is common, gharza (a stitch) is the noun used for surgical sutures. In industrial contexts, yusanni' (to manufacture) might be used more broadly, but yakhiit remains the specific verb for the assembly stage of garment production.

يَرْفو الجَوْرَبَ المَقْطوعَ بِخَيْطٍ سَميكٍ.
(He darns the torn sock with thick thread.)

Comparing yakhiit with yahuuk (knitting) and yansij (weaving) provides a complete picture of textile production. A piece of clothing is first yansij (woven) from yarn, then yufassil (cut/tailored), and finally yakhiit (sewn) together. Understanding this sequence solidifies your grasp of the Arabic textile vocabulary.

자주 하는 실수

Using 'yakhiit' for knitting wool. → يَحوك (yahuuku)
Yakhiit is only for needle and thread on fabric.
Saying 'khayata' for the past tense. → خاطَ (khata)
This is a hollow verb; the 'ya' changes to 'alif' in the past tense.
Confusing 'khayyat' (tailor) with 'khayyata' (sewing). → Context dependent.
Khayyat is the person; khiyata is the act or the shop.
Pronouncing 'kh' as 'k'. → Gutteral 'kh' sound.
The 'kh' is essential for being understood; 'yakiit' is not a word.
Using 'yakhiit' without an object. → يَخيطُ مَلابِسَ
It is a transitive verb and usually needs an object to make sense.

팁

Hollow Verb Rule

Remember that in the past tense, the middle 'Ya' becomes an 'Alif' (Khata). This is a common pattern for verbs with a 'Ya' in the middle of their root.

The Thread Connection

The word for thread is 'Khayt'. If you remember 'Khayt', you will always remember 'Yakhiit' because they share the same letters.

Tailor Shops

In many Arab countries, you don't just buy clothes; you buy fabric and take it to someone who will 'yakhiit' it for you. This is a great way to practice the word!

Emergency Situations

If you are in a hospital, 'yakhiit' is the word for getting stitches. It's a vital word to know for health reasons.

The Emphatic T

Make sure to pronounce the final 't' (ط) strongly. It's not a soft English 't'; it's a deep, emphatic sound.

Kite Mnemonic

Think of sewing a 'Kite' to remember 'Khiit'. 'I sew the kite' = 'Yakhiit'.

Fixing Situations

Sometimes people say 'khayyat-ha' to mean they fixed a messy situation, like 'stitching it back together'.

Poetic Threads

In poetry, look for 'khuuyut' (threads) and 'khiyata' (sewing) as metaphors for destiny and time.

Needle vs. Bodkin

Use 'Ibra' for a normal needle and 'Makhit' for a large one used for heavy fabrics like tents.

Daily Practice

Every time you put on a shirt, think 'Someone had to yakhiit this!' to reinforce the word.

암기하기

기억법

Think of a 'Kite' (sounds like Khiit). Imagine sewing a giant kite with a needle and thread. Yakhiit is what you do to the kite.

시각적 연상

Picture a needle (shaped like the letter 'Alif' or 'Ya') piercing through a fabric, leaving a trail of thread.

Word Web

Needle Thread Tailor Fabric Button Stitch Repair Clothes

챌린지

Try to find 5 items in your room that were sewn (makhit) and describe them using the verb 'yakhiit'.

어원

The word comes from the Proto-Semitic root Kh-Y-T, which relates to threading or binding. It has been used for thousands of years to describe the assembly of skins and fabrics.

원래 의미: To bind or join together using a thin material (thread or sinew).

Afroasiatic -> Semitic -> Central Semitic -> Arabic.

문화적 맥락

Avoid making assumptions about who sews; while traditionally gendered in some contexts, both men and women are prominent in the professional industry.

In the West, sewing is often a hobby (DIY), whereas in the Arab world, it remains a common and essential professional service for all social classes.

The story of the 'Tailor and the King' in folk tales. Quranic reference to the 'White Thread' of dawn. Modern Arabic songs that mention the 'Khayyat' fixing a broken heart.
