Arabic vocabulary
اشْرَبْ is how you say “drink” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in real example sentences from classical texts below.
قَالَ اِقْعُدْ فَاشْرَبْ
He said, "Sit down and drink."
فَاشْرَبْ — and drink. Begins with the connector 'so/and', then a command verb 'drink'; the connector links it to 'sit down' as the paired next order, read naturally as 'and drink'. A command verb already addresses 'you', so no subject pronoun is needed. The connector coordinates the two commands.
From: Generosity to the Poor →وَإِنْ شَرِبَ لَمْ يَقُلْ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ فَاشْرَبْ مَعَهُ
And if he drinks without saying the name of God, then drink with him.
فَاشْرَبْ — then drink. The 'fa-' opens the result of the condition ('then'), and the verb is a command form 'drink!'. The command shape, marked by its clipped ending and no subject prefix, issues the instruction for that case.
