تَسْأَلُasks (she/it asks)

Example sentences

• وَتَسْأَلُهُ شَيْئًا لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ أَمْرِ الدِّينِ لَمَا اِسْتَحْسَنَ السُّؤَالَ عَنْهُ؛

  And she asks him something that, if it were not a matter of religion, would not be appropriate to ask about.

  وَتَسْأَلُهُ — and she asks him. The connector wa- ('and') fused onto a present-tense verb 'asks' that ends in -hu ('him'), so one word holds connector, verb, and object. The wa- continues the description of the woman; the verb's feminine 'she' refers to her; the -hu is the Messenger she asks. It opens the delicate question she poses.
