Example sentences

• حين تستقرّ العادةُ، تصير كالعجلة على سكّة؛ أقلُّ احتكاك، أسرعُ وصول

  When the habit becomes settled, it is like a wheel on a track; less friction, faster arrival.

• وَعَرَضَ لِي نَفْسَهُ وَدَعَانِي إِلَيْهَا وَأَنَا أَسْرَعُ شَيْءٍ إِلَى نُصْرَةِ أَوْلِيَائِي،

  He showed himself to me and invited me to it, and I am the quickest to come to the aid of my allies.

  أَسْرَعُ — am the quickest. This is a superlative form, 'the quickest', built on a fixed 'most X' pattern. It is the predicate, what the speaker claims to be, and it heads a pairing with the noun that follows to mean 'quickest of things'. The pattern itself signals the top-of-the-scale sense.
