انْبَنى

Weak verbs in the passive

The passive of verbs ending in ى - built, cancelled, grilled, fried

Verbs that end in "ى" take the same "ان" prefix, and the ending behaves exactly as it does in the active verb. If you can already handle "بَنى" and "مَشى", there is nothing new here beyond the prefix.

Three of these are about food, which is not a coincidence. Cooking is the situation where nobody says who did it.
