Example sentences

فَقَالَ هَلْ أَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ مَا بِي أَنْ أَقْتُلَ
He said, "Are you going?" I said, "By God, I have no intention of killing."
ذَاهِب — going. This is an '-ing' form (active participle) working as the predicate, describing the subject as 'going' or 'in the act of going'. Arabic uses such a participle plus a pronoun to make a full present-state sentence without any verb 'to be'. So 'you' plus this word equals 'are you going'.
