نِعْمَexcellent

Example sentences

• قَالَ نِعْمَ

  He said, "Yes."

  نِعْمَ — yes. This is a fixed affirmation-style particle of approval, functioning here as a 'yes/indeed' reply rather than carrying tense or person. It stands as a complete answer on its own. Its job is to confirm the question just asked, not to predicate anything new.

  They said, "God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs."

  وَنِعْمَ — and excellent is. This token fronts the wa- 'and', joining a second clause of praise, attached to a fixed exclamation word meaning 'how excellent is...'. That exclamation word is a special praise verb that introduces the thing being praised next. So the word both coordinates and launches a set-phrase compliment.

• قَالَ نِعْمَ

  He said, "Yes."

  نِعْمَ — yes. A standalone word of approval, a fixed expression of assent that does not change its shape. It is not built from the surrounding verb but stands alone as the whole answer. Such frozen response words sit outside the normal noun-and-verb grammar of the sentence.
