Example sentences
أَمَّا تَسْتَحِينَ مِنَ اللَّهِ؟
Are you not ashamed before God?
تَسْتَحِينَ — are you ashamed. A present-tense verb with its subject built in as 'you' (addressed to a woman), 'you feel shame'. It sits under the reproachful question opened before it, so its present tense reads as a settled disposition being challenged: not 'are you ashamed right now' but 'have you no shame at all'.
