اِسْتَفَادَ is how you say “benefited” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in real example sentences from classical texts below.
فَاسْتَفَادَ مِنْهُ فَوَائِدَ جِمَّةً،
Thus he derived abundant benefits from it.
فَاسْتَفَادَ — so he benefited. This token fuses fa- ('so/thus') with a past-tense verb. The fa- marks this as the upshot of what preceded, 'thus he...', and the augmented verb pattern gives 'derived benefit'. Its 'he' subject is built into the form.
From: A Life of Reading and Writing →وَإِذَا بُلِغَتْكَ أَنَّ أَحْمَقَ اِسْتَفَادَ عُقُولًا فَلا تُصَدِّقْ
And if it is conveyed to you that a fool has gained sense, then do not believe it.
اِسْتَفَادَ — he gained. A past-tense verb with its 'he' subject built in, forming the predicate of the reported clause: the claim that the fool acquired understanding. It completes the supposed news. Person and tense live in the verb shape.
