تَصْدِيقًاconfirmation

Example sentences

• فَجَعَلَتْ أَنْ تَقُولَ مَتَى تَصْدِيقًا لِمَا أَتَى مِنَ الْوَعْدِ يَا فَتًى،

  So she began to say, "When will there be confirmation of what has come of the promise, O young man?"

  تصديقًا — confirmation. An action-noun (the naming of an act, here 'confirmation') sitting in the accusative, the object-style ending. It works as the thing being asked about, and Arabic often packs a whole 'that it be confirmed' idea into this single noun where English needs a clause.
