يَسْأَلْask

Example sentences

• فَلَمْ يَسْأَلْ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ،

  Then neither of them asked his companion about anything until morning.

  يَسْأَلْ — ask. The verb sits in its shortened jussive shape, and the trigger is the negating particle just before it. That particle flips a present-looking verb into a plain past negation and trims its ending, which is how 'did not ask' is built.
