Example sentences

• والتهوع بالتسهيل، وأتى بكل خلاف ونادى على نفسه أنا أبو فلان فاعرفوني فإني عارف بالسبع

  He put on an ostentatious display of making things easy, entered every dispute, and cried out about his self, "I am the father of so-and-so; recognize me, for I know of the seven."

  عَارِفٌ — aware. An active participle - a doer-noun built from the verb 'to know', meaning 'one who knows/an expert'. It works as the predicate of the emphatic 'indeed I', so the equational sentence reads 'indeed I am a knower'. Arabic uses such participles to describe an ongoing state or characteristic without needing a separate verb 'to be'.
