How to say “do” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
قَالَ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ بِكَ،
He said that she used to do that to you.
تصنع — she does. This present-shape verb carries its 'she' subject inside it and supplies the action inside the 'used to' frame set up by the past 'was' before it. So it describes a repeated past practice, not a present one. It means she habitually did the same caring for him long ago.
