رُؤْيًاa dream in Arabic

Example sentences

• إِنْ كُنْتَ رَأَيْتَ رُؤْيًا فَاقْصِصْهَا عَلَيَّ

  If you saw a dream, relate it to me.

  رُؤْيًا — a dream. An indefinite noun in the object form, its ending marking it as the thing seen, the direct object of the verb before it. The bare, no-'the' shape with that ending presents 'a dream' as a single unspecified instance.

• فَكَانَ لَا يَرَى رُؤْيًا إِلَّا جَاءَتْ مِثْلَ فَلَقِ الصُّبْحِ،

  He would see no vision except that it came like the break of dawn.

  رُؤْيًا — a vision. This noun is the thing seen, the object of the verb, and its indefinite '-an' ending marks it as 'any vision at all' rather than a known one. That indefiniteness is what makes the sweeping 'no vision except' reading work.
