تَبْدَأُbegins

Example sentences

• قال الفراء تبدى بالمطر ثم ترجع به في كل عام

  Al-Fara' said it begins with rain, then it returns with it every year.

  تَبْدَأُ — it begins. This is a present-tense verb 'it begins', and its shape marks a third-person feminine subject, agreeing with the feminine noun 'rain' it refers to. The feminine marking is how the reader knows the unstated subject is the rain, not something masculine.

• وكذلك قال ابن عباس ﵄ تبدى بالمطر ثم ترجع به في كل عام

  Likewise, Ibn Abbas said it begins with rain and then returns with it every year.

  تَبْدَأُ — it begins. This is a present-tense verb 'it begins', marked feminine to agree with the feminine noun 'rain' it refers to. The feminine shape carries the subject inside, so no separate 'it' is written; agreement is what identifies the subject.
