يَصِيحُcries in Arabic

Example sentences

• والأعجمي يصيح زنهار

  And the foreigner cries, 'Zanahar' (Woe),

  يَصِيحُ — he cries. A present-tense verb with its 'he' subject built into the form, describing the shouting as a vivid ongoing act rather than a single past event. It introduces the quoted cry that follows, much as the parallel verb did for the Arab.

• وَالْأَعْجَمِيُّ يَصِيحُ زَنَهَارَ وَالْبَنِينَ

  And the non-Arab cries out an onomatopoeic cry, and the boys.

  يَصِيحُ — he cries out. A present-tense verb 'cries out' carrying a third-person masculine 'he', matched to the parallel present used for the Arab earlier. Its built-in 'he' refers to the non-Arab just named. The present keeps the two reactions side by side as ongoing, typical behaviour.
