Technique in language

The teknyya is a word expressing the origin of the Frankish word, which was invented by its creators. Modern technology is undoubtedly Western. When we say that, we leave politics aside. We also abandon ignorance, and we abandon fanaticism in its most deceitful and ridiculous forms. The word of truth we say, even if it is self-evident, is elevated to the level of dignity that God wanted for the human being of this earth.

The French pronunciation is Technology, and you can use it in more than one European language. As is our custom, we cut the word, which is of Greek origin, into two halves, which are Techn and Logy. As for Logy, it means knowledge, or hadith, and as for Techn, it means method or something like that. I am writing as I have no references now. The meaning of the word is (the knowledge of the method or the knowledge of the means, by which a person pleads to achieve something.

However, the word has acquired a conventional meaning that we previously explained in the comparison with science, so there is no need to return to its original meaning from which it stems. It is similar to the meaning of the science of tricks, which the Arabs had, and by it they meant the science of mechanics.

In any case, the word has become an international term that you can use to use it
All nations.

We Arabized it and it became the teknikya. There is no need to include logy, as the artificial infinitive form indicates it. But the Arabization Center affiliated with the Arab League, and its place, which is the Moroccan state, Arabized this word, so technology made it a center for Arabization that has a notable place due to the efforts it has made, thanks to which it is appreciated. There are two objections to technology. The first is that it is a heavy qāf in pronunciation. The second is that, as long as we are satisfied with the Arabization, why should we move away from the Western pronunciation, which is a light “kaf” and not a heavy “qaf”.

It was said that they discovered in the language dictionaries, in the subject of the qaf, the noon, and the yā’, a word with a meaning similar to the meaning of the Afranāki word.

An argument that seemed to me like the rulings of female analysts on marriage. So I kept myself from going down this path, so I did not try to open a dictionary to verify what they were saying.

Our keenness to ensure that the words we use, even those that the Arabs do not use, have Arabic origins, is that we follow a path in which we create connections in a way that indicates laughter and sarcasm. Is it permissible for us, at the end of time, for a word not to be valid regarding our daughter unless she was born under a tent and on the sands of the desert? And our Holy Qur’an, at the beginning of time, accepted words from the Persians. She was born into a family of grace, and luxury surrounded her on every side.

This reminds me of my late honorable friend, Professor Ali Al-Jarim. We were in the Arabic Language Academy looking for an Arabic word for the word machine, so I said, “We are in Cairo.” It says makna, with the opening of the meem and the kaf, and we combine them, so we say makna or maknat.

After discussion, and the objection of the disobedient brother, he finally agreed to the word “maknah”, provided that it be “maknah”, with the addition of the meem and the suffixing of the kaf, because this word is present in the dictionary in the sense of enabling a person to do something. This is what is meant. I told him: But people say makna, not makna. He said, “We write it without a form, and let people read it as they want.” A loud laugh broke out from me, followed by an even louder laugh from him. May God have mercy on him, he was kind and funny and laughed at jokes, even at himself.
