The Arabic verb يخطر (yakhṭur) is a versatile term primarily meaning 'to notify,' 'to inform,' or 'to officially tell someone something.' It implies a formal or deliberate act of conveying information. You'll often encounter this verb in contexts where official communication is taking place, such as in legal matters, administrative procedures, or important announcements. It suggests that the information being conveyed is significant and intended to be received and acknowledged by the recipient. Unlike more casual ways of sharing information, يخطر carries a sense of officialdom and purpose.
- Core Meaning
- To officially inform or notify someone.
- Usage Contexts
- Legal notices, official announcements, administrative communications, formal warnings, important updates.
The government will notify citizens about the new regulations.
Consider the nuance: while you might casually 'tell' a friend something, you would 'notify' them of an important meeting. The verb يخطر fits the latter scenario. It's about making sure someone is aware of something officially or with a degree of seriousness. This is particularly relevant in situations where a lack of notification could have consequences. For instance, a landlord might notify a tenant of a rent increase, or a company might notify its employees of a change in policy. The act of notifying is a formal step in many processes.
- Formal Communication
- This verb is inherently linked to formal communication channels and intentional information dissemination. It is not typically used for casual conversations.
- Legal and Administrative Use
- In legal and administrative contexts, يخطر signifies a required action to inform a party of their rights, obligations, or of a legal proceeding.
The court will notify the defendant of the hearing date.
Using يخطر correctly involves understanding its grammatical structure and the prepositions it commonly pairs with. The verb typically takes an object, which is the person or entity being notified, and often requires a preposition like 'بـ' (bi) to introduce the thing being notified about. The structure often looks like: 'Subject + يخطر + Object + بـ + Information.' For example, 'The manager will notify the employees of the meeting' would be 'سيخطر المدير الموظفين بالاجتماع' (Sayukhṭir al-mudīr al-muwaẓẓafīn bil-ijtimāʿ).
- Basic Structure
- The most common form is to notify someone *of* something. This uses the preposition 'بـ' (bi). For example: 'He notified me of the news' - أخطرني بالخبر (akhṭaranī bil-khabar).
The company notified its customers about the product recall.
The verb يخطر is often used in the past tense (أخطر - akhṭara) or present tense (يخطر - yakhṭur). It can also be used in the imperative form. When referring to a passive notification, the passive form 'يُخطر' (yukhṭar) is used, meaning 'to be notified.' For instance, 'The employee was notified of his dismissal' would be 'تم إخطار الموظف بفصله' (Tamma ikhṭār al-muwaẓẓaf bi-fiṣlihi) or 'أُخطر الموظف بفصله' (Ukhṭira al-muwaẓẓaf bi-fiṣlihi). Pay attention to the subject and object in your sentences to ensure correct verb conjugation and pronoun usage.
- Passive Voice
- The passive form 'يُخطر' (yukhṭar) means 'to be notified.' Example: 'The message was notified to him' - أُخطر بالرسالة (Ukhṭira bil-risāla).
- Imperative Form
- The imperative form is 'أَخْطِرْ' (akhṭir), meaning 'Notify!' Example: 'Notify the authorities immediately!' - أخطر السلطات فوراً! (Akhṭir al-sulṭāt fawran!).
Please notify us of any changes.
You'll most commonly hear يخطر in formal settings and official communications. Think about news reports discussing legal proceedings, government announcements, or official business correspondence. For instance, a news anchor might say, 'The ministry will notify the public of the new travel restrictions.' Similarly, in a workplace, a manager might send an email stating, 'We need to notify all staff about the upcoming training session.' Legal documents frequently use this verb to ensure parties are officially informed of their rights, obligations, or court dates.
- Official Announcements
- Government bodies, companies, and organizations use يخطر when making official statements or informing the public about important matters.
The police will notify the family of the incident.
In administrative contexts, such as universities or hospitals, you might hear or read: 'Students will be notified of their exam results by email,' or 'Patients will be notified if there are any changes to their appointments.' This verb emphasizes the official nature of the communication. It's not just a casual mention; it's a formal act of making someone aware. Even in everyday life, if you're expecting an important delivery or a scheduled service, the company might notify you of the exact time or any delays. The key is the official or important nature of the information being conveyed.
- Legal and Judicial Settings
- Courts, lawyers, and law enforcement agencies use this verb extensively for official summons, warnings, and notifications of legal proceedings.
- Business and Administration
- In business, it's used for informing employees, clients, or stakeholders about important company news, policy changes, or upcoming events.
The contract states that we must notify you 30 days in advance.
One of the most common mistakes learners make with يخطر is using it in informal contexts where a simpler verb like 'يقول' (yaqūl - to say) or 'يخبر' (yukhbir - to inform, but often less formal than يخطر) would be more appropriate. For example, saying 'أخطرني صديقي بالخبر' (Akhṭaranī ṣadīqī bil-khabar - My friend notified me of the news) sounds overly formal and unnatural for a casual conversation between friends. It's better to use 'أخبرني صديقي بالخبر' or even 'قال لي صديقي الخبر' (Qāla lī ṣadīqī al-khabar - My friend told me the news).
- Overly Formal Usage
- Using يخطر for casual notifications between friends or family members. Example: 'I will notify you about dinner' is too formal; 'I will tell you about dinner' is more natural.
Incorrect: I will notify my mom I'm coming home.
Another mistake is neglecting the preposition 'بـ' (bi) when it's required. While sometimes context can imply the meaning, it's generally best to include it for clarity. Saying 'أخطرني الخبر' (Akhṭaranī al-khabar) without 'بـ' can sound awkward. The correct structure is 'أخطرني بالخبر' (Akhṭaranī bil-khabar). Also, learners might confuse يخطر with verbs that mean 'to come to mind' or 'to occur,' such as 'يخطر ببالي' (yakhṭur bi-bālī - it occurs to me). While they share a root, their meanings and grammatical constructions are distinct.
- Missing Preposition
- Forgetting to use the preposition 'بـ' (bi) after the object when specifying what is being notified about. Correct: 'He notified them of the decision' - أخطرهم بالقرار (akhṭarahum bil-qarār).
- Confusing with 'Occurs To Mind'
- Mistaking يخطر for the phrase 'يخطر ببالي' (yakhṭur bi-bālī), which means 'it comes to my mind.' The verb يخطر (in the sense of notifying) is transitive and requires an object being informed, whereas 'يخطر ببالي' is intransitive and describes a thought appearing.
Incorrect: The teacher notified the student the answer.
While يخطر (yakhṭur) specifically means to officially notify or inform, several other Arabic words convey related meanings, each with its own nuance and register. The most common alternative is يُخبر (yukhbir), which means 'to inform' or 'to tell.' يُخبر is generally less formal than يخطر and can be used in a wider range of situations, from casual conversations to more formal announcements. For instance, you might يُخبر a friend about your plans, but you would يخطر an employee about a policy change.
- يُخبر (yukhbir) - To inform/tell
- More general and less formal than يخطر. Suitable for both casual and semi-formal contexts. Example: 'I informed him about the meeting' - أخبرته عن الاجتماع (akhbartuhu ʿan al-ijtimāʿ).
- يُعلم (yuʿlim) - To inform/make aware
- Similar to يُخبر, but can also imply making someone aware of a fact or situation. Often used in official contexts but can be broader. Example: 'The sign informed people about the danger' - اللافتة علّمت الناس بالخطر (al-lāfitah ʿallamat al-nās bil-khaṭar).
The instructor informed the students of the exam schedule.
Another related word is يُعلِم (yuʿlim), meaning 'to inform' or 'to make aware.' This verb is also quite common and can be used in both formal and semi-formal settings. It often implies conveying knowledge or making someone conscious of something. For example, 'The teacher informed the students about the homework' - علّم المعلم الطلاب بالواجب (ʿallama al-muʿallim al-ṭullāb bil-wājib). A more general verb is يقول (yaqūl), meaning 'to say' or 'to tell.' This is the most basic and informal option, used for simple statements. For instance, 'He told me he was tired' - قال لي إنه متعب (Qāla lī innahu mutʿab). When you want to emphasize the official or serious nature of the communication, يخطر is the most precise choice.
- يقول (yaqūl) - To say/tell
- The most basic and informal verb for conveying speech. Used for any direct statement. Example: 'He said hello' - قال مرحباً (qāla marḥaban).
- يُبلغ (yuballigh) - To convey/report
- Often used for conveying messages, reports, or news, especially from one person to another or from an authority. It can be quite formal. Example: 'The messenger conveyed the message' - بلّغ الرسول الرسالة (ballagha al-rasūl al-risāla).
He informed me of the new policy.
How Formal Is It?
Curiosidade
Interestingly, the same root 'خ ط ر' also gives us the word 'خَطَر' (khaṭar), meaning 'danger' or 'risk.' This connection highlights that what is often 'notified' or 'informed' about is something of significance or potential danger. So, when you are notified, it's often about something that matters.

Formal/WorkplaceFácil de confundir
Both verbs mean to convey information.
'يُخبر' is a more general term for informing or telling and can be used in both casual and formal settings. 'يخطر' specifically denotes an official or formal notification, often implying a significant piece of information or a required procedure. Think of 'yukhbir' as 'to tell' and 'yakhṭur' as 'to officially notify/inform'.
أخبرت صديقي بالخطة (I told my friend about the plan - casual). أخطرنا الموظفين بقرار الشركة (We notified the employees of the company's decision - formal).
Both verbs mean to inform or make someone aware.
'يُعلِم' can be used broadly to make someone aware of something. 'يخطر' is more specific to a formal notification, often carrying legal or administrative weight. While 'يُعلِم' can be formal, 'يخطر' is almost always formal and implies a deliberate act of informing someone of something important or required.
علّمتني المعلمة القاعدة (The teacher informed me of the rule - neutral). تم إخطارنا بالتغييرات (We were notified of the changes - formal).
All three verbs involve conveying information.
'يُبلغ' often means to convey a message or report, especially from one person to another or from an authority. It can be quite formal. 'يخطر' is specifically about official notification, often implying a formal announcement or a required communication. 'يُبلغ' can sometimes be more about relaying a message, while 'يخطر' is about formally informing.
بلّغ الرسول الخبر (The messenger conveyed the news). أخطرناهم بانتهاء المهلة (We notified them of the deadline's expiry).
Both involve drawing attention to something.
'يُنبّه' means to alert or warn, often about a potential danger or issue. It's about drawing immediate attention. 'يخطر' is about formally informing someone of something, which may or may not be a warning, but it's always a formal act of conveying information.
نبهني إلى الخطر (He alerted me to the danger). أخطرني بالموعد (He notified me of the appointment).
Shares the same root and initial sound.
This is a common point of confusion. 'يخطر' (as in 'to notify') is a transitive verb that requires an object being informed. 'يخطر ببالي' is an idiomatic phrase meaning 'it comes to my mind' or 'it occurs to me.' It is intransitive and describes a thought appearing spontaneously.
خطر ببالي فكرة (An idea came to my mind). أخطرني بالقرار (He notified me of the decision).

Como usar
Medium-High in formal contexts, Low in informal contexts.
-
Using 'يخطر' for casual conversations.
→
Using 'يُخبر' or 'يقول' for informal communication.
Learners might overuse 'يخطر' because it translates to 'to inform'. However, 'يخطر' implies a formal, official notification. For casual chats, 'أخبرني' (akhbirnī - tell me) or 'قال لي' (qāla lī - he told me) are more appropriate.
-
Forgetting the preposition 'بـ'.
→
Always using 'بـ' to introduce the subject of notification.
A common error is to omit the preposition 'بـ' after 'يخطر'. For example, saying 'أخطرني الخبر' instead of the correct 'أخطرني بالخبر'. The preposition clarifies what is being notified.
-
Confusing 'يخطر' with 'يخطر ببالي'.
→
Understanding that 'يخطر' (to notify) is transitive and 'يخطر ببالي' (it comes to mind) is an idiomatic phrase.
The similarity in sound leads to confusion. 'يخطر' (to notify) requires an object receiving the notification. 'يخطر ببالي' describes a thought appearing in one's mind and does not take a direct object in the same way.
-
Incorrect verb conjugation or passive voice.
→
Using the correct verb form for the subject, tense, and voice (active/passive).
Mistakes can occur in conjugating 'يخطر' for different subjects or in forming the passive voice correctly. For example, using the singular form for a plural subject or incorrectly forming the passive 'أُخطر' or 'يُخطر'.
-
Using the verbal noun 'إخطار' in informal contexts.
→
Using 'إخطار' in formal writing or speech where a noun form is needed.
While 'إخطار' (notification) is the correct noun, using it in a casual conversation would be too formal. For example, saying 'أريد إخطارك' (I want to notify you) is formal, whereas 'أريد أن أخبرك' (I want to tell you) is more common for informal situations.
Dicas
Preposition 'بـ'
Remember that 'يخطر' is frequently followed by the preposition 'بـ' (bi) to specify what is being notified. For instance, 'أخطرني بالموعد' (He notified me of the appointment). This is a key grammatical pattern to master.
Formal Situations
Reserve 'يخطر' for formal settings like official announcements, legal matters, or administrative communications. Using it in casual conversation would sound unnatural and overly serious.
Distinguish from 'يُخبر'
Understand the nuance between 'يخطر' (official notification) and 'يُخبر' (general informing/telling). Choosing the correct verb depends on the formality of the situation.
Emphatic 'ṭ'
Pay attention to the emphatic 'ṭ' sound in 'يخطر'. It's a distinct sound from a regular 't' and is crucial for accurate pronunciation. Practice the difference between 'ت' and 'ط'.
Connect to 'Notice'
Link the Arabic verb 'يخطر' to the English word 'notice' or 'notify.' Both have similar sounds and convey the idea of official communication, which can aid memory.
Active vs. Passive
Be aware of both active ('يخطر' - to notify) and passive ('أُخطر' - to be notified) forms. The passive is very common, especially in official reports where the focus is on who received the notification.
Root Connection
Remember the root 'خ ط ر' (kh-ṭ-r) is also related to 'danger' (خَطَر). This connection can help you recall that notifications are often about matters of importance or potential risk.
Sentence Building
Actively construct sentences using 'يخطر' in various tenses and forms. Practice writing official-sounding notifications to solidify your understanding and usage.
Cultural Nuance
Understand that formal communication is highly valued in many Arabic-speaking cultures. 'يخطر' reflects this value by emphasizing official and respectful information exchange.
Avoid Overuse
While important, 'يخطر' is not for every situation. Avoid using it for casual 'telling.' Stick to 'يُخبر' or 'يقول' for informal contexts to maintain naturalness in your Arabic.
Memorize
Mnemônico
Imagine a king who needs to 'notify' his entire kingdom of a new decree. He sends out royal messengers who 'kh-ṭar' (خطَر - danger, risk) through the land, carrying the important message. The 'kh-ṭar' sound reminds you of the verb and its formal, important nature.
Associação visual
Picture a formal scroll with a red wax seal being handed to someone by a serious-looking official. The scroll contains the 'notification.' You can also visualize a loud alarm bell ringing to 'notify' everyone of an emergency.
Word Web
Desafio
Try to use 'يخطر' in three sentences describing official announcements: one about a company policy change, one about a legal proceeding, and one about a public safety alert. Ensure you use the correct prepositions and context.
Origem da palavra
The verb 'أخطر' (akhṭara) is derived from the Arabic root 'خ ط ر' (kh-ṭ-r). This root carries meanings related to 'danger,' 'risk,' 'significance,' and 'coming to mind.' The act of notifying is often about bringing something important or potentially dangerous to someone's attention.
Significado original: The core idea relates to something significant or dangerous that 'occurs' or 'comes to mind' and therefore needs to be brought to someone's attention.
Semitic languagesContexto cultural
The use of 'يخطر' is generally neutral, but the context determines sensitivity. Notifying someone of a dismissal or a legal charge is inherently sensitive. The verb itself is formal and direct, so its application should be considered carefully based on the emotional weight of the information being conveyed.
In English-speaking cultures, 'notify' is also used for formal communication, often in legal or official contexts. However, the Arabic 'يخطر' can sometimes carry a stronger sense of officialdom and a more direct implication of legal or administrative consequence than its English counterpart in everyday use.

Perguntas frequentes
10 perguntasThe primary difference lies in formality and context. 'يُخبر' (yukhbir) is a general verb meaning 'to inform' or 'to tell' and can be used in both casual and formal situations. 'يخطر' (yakhṭur) specifically denotes an official or formal notification, often implying a significant piece of information, a legal requirement, or an administrative procedure. Think of 'يُخبر' as 'to tell' and 'يخطر' as 'to officially notify'.
The passive form is used when the focus is on the recipient of the notification, rather than the person or entity doing the notifying. Common passive forms include 'تم إخطار...' (notification was done...) or the conjugated passive verb 'أُخطر' (was notified) or 'يُخطر' (is notified). For example, 'تم إخطار الموظفين بالتغييرات' (The employees were notified of the changes).
While not always strictly mandatory in every single instance across all dialects and contexts, the preposition 'بـ' (bi) is very commonly used with 'يخطر' to introduce the specific information being notified about. It clarifies what the notification pertains to. Examples include 'أخطرني بالموعد' (He notified me of the appointment) or 'إخطار بالقرار' (notification of the decision). It's best practice to use it for clarity.
Generally, no. 'يخطر' is reserved for formal or official contexts. For casual notifications like telling a friend about a party, you would use verbs like 'يُخبر' (yukhbir - to inform/tell), 'يقول' (yaqūl - to say), or 'يعزم' (yaʿzim - to invite). Using 'يخطر' in such a context would sound overly formal and out of place.
The most common noun is 'إخطار' (ikhṭār), which means 'notification.' Other related nouns include 'مُخطِر' (mukḥṭir - the one who notifies) and 'مُخطَر' (mukḥṭar - the one who is notified).
Yes, it is! The Arabic root for both 'يخطر' (to notify) and 'خَطَر' (khaṭar - danger/risk) is 'خ ط ر'. This connection highlights that official notifications are often about matters of significance or potential danger, emphasizing the importance of being informed.
The pronunciation is 'yakh-TUR'. The 'kh' is a guttural sound like in Scottish 'loch'. The 'ṭ' is an emphatic 't', pronounced further back in the mouth. The stress is on the second syllable: yakh-TUR.
Yes, a common one is 'يخطر ببالي' (yakhṭur bi-bālī), which means 'it comes to my mind' or 'it occurs to me.' This is a different meaning from the verb 'to notify' but uses the same root. In formal contexts, 'أُحيط علماً بـ' (uḥīṭa ʿilman bi - I was informed of) is a very formal way to express being notified.
Both mean 'notification' or 'notice.' 'إخطار' (ikhṭār) is generally used for more formal, official, or legal notifications. 'إشعار' (ishʿār) can also be formal but is often used for general notices, announcements, or alerts, such as a 'notice board' (لوحة إعلانات / لوحة إشعارات) or an 'email notification' (إشعار بريد إلكتروني).
Certainly. A common example is: 'تم إخطار المدعى عليه بالدعوى القضائية المرفوعة ضده.' (The defendant was notified of the lawsuit filed against him.) Here, 'يخطر' (in its passive past form) signifies a crucial legal procedure.
