Explicação نَجَحَ in your Level:

At the A1 level, 'najaḥa' is primarily learned in the context of school. It is one of the first verbs students learn to describe their progress. You use it to say 'I passed' or 'He passed'. It's usually paired with 'al-imtiḥān' (the exam). At this stage, focus on the past tense 'najaḥtu' and 'najaḥa' and always remember to add 'fi' before the subject you passed. It's a very encouraging word to know early on because it allows you to talk about your achievements in simple terms.

نَجَحَ em 30 segundos

Najaḥa is the standard Arabic verb for 'to succeed' or 'to pass'.
It is a Form I verb derived from the root N-J-H.
It typically requires the preposition 'fi' (in) when specifying the area of success.
Common derivatives include 'Najāḥ' (success) and 'Nājiḥ' (successful).

The Arabic verb نَجَحَ (najaḥa) is a foundational Form I triliteral verb derived from the root ن-ج-ح. At its core, it signifies the attainment of a goal, the successful completion of a task, or the act of passing an evaluation. Unlike some other languages where 'success' might imply a vague state of being, in Arabic, najaḥa is often active and specific. It is most commonly encountered in educational contexts, where it specifically means 'to pass' an exam or a grade level. However, its semantic range extends far beyond the classroom into professional, personal, and even spiritual domains. When we look at the linguistic weight of the word, it carries a sense of 'ripeness' or 'readiness'—much like a fruit that has reached its peak. This implies that success is not an accident but the result of a process of growth and preparation. In the modern context, it is the primary word used to describe anyone who has reached their objective, whether that is a businessman closing a deal, an athlete winning a race, or a student receiving their diploma.

Root Meaning: The root N-J-H relates to prosperity, success, and the favorable outcome of an endeavor.
Grammatical Category: Intransitive verb (often requires the preposition 'fi' to indicate the area of success).

نَجَحَ الطّالِبُ فِي الِامْتِحَانِ بِتَفَوُّقٍ.
The student passed the exam with excellence.

To understand نَجَحَ, one must understand its relationship with the preposition فِي (fi). While in English you 'pass an exam' (direct object), in Arabic you 'succeed in an exam'. This subtle difference highlights that success is viewed as an entry into a state of achievement within a specific field. Furthermore, the word encompasses both the internal feeling of accomplishment and the external recognition of that achievement. It is a word of celebration, often followed by congratulations like 'Mabrouk'. In literature, najaḥa is used to describe the success of a plan or the fruition of a dream. It is versatile, powerful, and universally positive.

نَجَحَتِ الخُطَّةُ بَعْدَ عَمَلٍ شَاقٍّ.
The plan succeeded after hard work.

Synonym Note: While 'faza' (won) is about competition, 'najaḥa' (succeeded) is about meeting a standard or goal.

نَجَحَ المَشْرُوعُ تِجَارِيّاً.
The project succeeded commercially.

هَلْ نَجَحْتَ فِي الحُصُولِ عَلَى التَّأْشِيرَةِ؟
Did you succeed in getting the visa?

نَجَحَ فِي كَسْبِ ثِقَةِ النَّاسِ.
He succeeded in gaining people's trust.

Using نَجَحَ (najaḥa) correctly involves understanding its conjugation and its prepositional requirements. As a Form I verb, it follows the standard pattern for past tense. For example, 'I succeeded' is نَجَحْتُ (najaḥtu), and 'she succeeded' is نَجَحَتْ (najaḥat). The present tense is يَنْجَحُ (yanjaḥu). It is crucial to pair it with فِي (fi) when you want to say 'succeed in' or 'pass' something. Without 'fi', the sentence might feel incomplete or change meaning slightly toward 'prospering' in a general sense. In professional settings, you might use it to describe the success of a marketing campaign or a diplomatic mission. In daily life, it's the go-to word for passing a driving test or a university exam.

Conjugation (Past): Ana najaḥtu, Anta najaḥta, Huwa najaḥa, Hiya najaḥat.

أَتَمَنَّى أَنْ تَنْجَحَ فِي حَيَاتِكَ.
I hope you succeed in your life.

The imperative form is اِنْجَحْ (injaḥ), meaning 'Succeed!' though it is less commonly used as a direct command and more as an encouragement. The active participle is نَاجِح (nājiḥ), which means 'successful' or 'a person who has passed'. You can use this as an adjective: rajul nājiḥ (a successful man). The verbal noun (Masdar) is نَجَاح (najāḥ), meaning 'success'. Understanding these variations allows you to build complex sentences. For instance, you can say 'Success is the result of hard work' using the Masdar: Al-najāḥu natījatu al-’amali al-shāqq.

نَجَحَتِ المُحَاوَلَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ.
The second attempt succeeded.

Negation: Use 'lam yanjaḥ' (did not succeed) or 'mā najaḥa' (did not succeed).

You will encounter نَجَحَ in a variety of environments, from the formal to the casual. In schools and universities, it is the most anticipated word during results season. Teachers will announce: 'Al-jamī' najaḥū' (Everyone passed). In the news, you will hear it regarding political negotiations: 'Najaḥat al-mufāwaḍāt' (The negotiations succeeded). It is also prevalent in business contexts, describing the success of a startup or an investment. Socially, it is used to congratulate friends on any achievement, whether it's getting a new job or successfully organizing an event. In religious sermons, it might be used to describe 'Al-Najāḥ' in the afterlife or in one's moral conduct.

نَجَحَ الفِيلمُ فِي جَذْبِ الجُمْهُورِ.
The movie succeeded in attracting the audience.

On social media, you'll see hashtags like #نجاح (#Success) or posts celebrating milestones. In literature, it is used to describe the climax of a hero's journey. It's a word that resonates with positivity and progress. Whether you are reading a newspaper in Cairo, listening to a podcast from Dubai, or talking to a friend in Casablanca, najaḥa is the universal standard for expressing that something went right.

The most frequent error for English speakers is omitting the preposition فِي (fi). In English, we say 'I passed the exam' (direct object). In Arabic, saying 'Najaḥtu al-imtiḥān' is grammatically incorrect; it must be 'Najaḥtu fī al-imtiḥān'. Another mistake is confusing نَجَحَ with فَازَ (fāza). While both are positive, fāza means 'to win' a competition or a prize, whereas najaḥa means to succeed in a task or pass a test. You 'win' a football match, but you 'succeed' in your career. Additionally, learners sometimes confuse the active participle nājiḥ (successful) with the noun najāḥ (success). Remember: Huwa nājiḥ (He is successful) vs. Hādhā najāḥ kabīr (This is a big success).

Several words share a semantic field with نَجَحَ but carry different nuances. أَفْلَحَ (aflaḥa) often has a spiritual or agricultural connotation, meaning to prosper or find salvation. تَفَوَّقَ (tafawwaqa) means to excel or surpass others, implying a higher level of success than just passing. تَمَكَّنَ (tamakkana) means to be able to or to manage to do something, often used when overcoming a difficulty. أَنْجَزَ (anjaza) means to accomplish or complete a specific task.

Najaḥa vs. Fāza: Najaḥa is about goals/standards; Fāza is about beating opponents.
Najaḥa vs. Anjaza: Najaḥa is the outcome (success); Anjaza is the action (completion).
