Arabic vocabulary
How to say “enter” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
فَإِنْ مَضَيْتُ فَاتَّبِعْنِي حَتَّى تَدْخُلَ مَدْخَلِي فَفَعَلَ،
If I leave, then follow me until you enter my entrance. So he did.
تَدْخُلَ — you enter. The verb is in its subjunctive shape, and the trigger is the limit-word just before it. After that particle Arabic drops the plain present ending, marking the entering as the goal worked toward, not something already done.
From: A Stranger Finds the Prophet →فَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَدْخُلَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ،
Nothing remained except for you to enter between the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and his wives.
تَدْخُلَ — you enter. A present verb 'you enter' in its goal-shape ending because the 'that' particle precedes it; the ending marks the entering as the looming possibility, not a done fact. The singular 'you' is built in.
From: Umar and the Prophet's Wives →فَقَالَ اِذْهَبْ حَتَّى تَدْخُلَ بَيْنَ ظُهْرَانِيِ الْقَوْمِ
He said, "Go until you enter among the backs of the people."
تَدْخُلَ — you enter. This verb wears its 'aim' (subjunctive) ending because 'until' just before it forces that shape, marking the entering as the target the going aims at, not an event already happening. Its 'you' doer is built into the prefix. The special ending is the clue that this is the goal of the journey.
