it is an اسم الفاعل:

مَيَّزَ / يُمَيِّزُ / مَيِّزْ
م: تَمْيِيْز
فهو مُمَيِّزٌ

Answer 25

to distinguish

so مُمَيِّزٌ is adjective meaning “distinguishing” or “distinctive”

Question 26

the previous verb, مَيَّزَ / يُمَيِّزُ
if we use the PASSIVE form of the verb, we get مُيِّزَ
from مُيِّزَ, we get مُمَيَّزٌ (different from مُمَيِّزٌ, which is the اسم الفاعل for مَيَّزَ)

Answer 26

so مُمَيَّزٌ means distinguished and the emphasis is that someone distinguished it
as it is from the passive verb مُيِّزَ, which means to be distinguished, as oppose toمَيَّزَ which means to distinguish

Question 27

مُتَمَيِّز/ مُتَمَيِّزُون
it is an اسم الفاعل:

Answer 27

to BE distinguished

soمُتَمَيِّز also emphasizes that someone or something is exceptional or distinguished, but the difference here is the thing in itself is special

Question 28

so what is the difference between مُتَمَيِّزٌ and مُمَيَّزٌ?

Answer 28

they’re similar in meaning, both meaning distinguished, but مُمَيَّزٌ means something distinguished it or made it distinguished, andمُتَمَيِّزٌ means the thing itself is distinguished/special.
