Arabic vocabulary
How to say “do you think” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
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.
From: Guarding the Heart from Heedlessness →OpenArabic teaches words like أَتَراكَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
