Arabic vocabulary
أَتَراكَ is how you say “do you think” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
أَتَراكَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ بِعَوَاقِبِهِ؟
Do you think you did not know that the matter has its consequences?!
أَتَراكَ — Do you think. A frozen rhetorical question-form addressing 'you' (masculine), roughly 'do you suppose...'. It opens a reproachful question whose answer is taken for granted, and the '-ka' tail on it is the 'you' being challenged. It frames the whole sentence as a rebuke, not a real query.
