يَنْظُرَhe looks in Arabic

Example sentences

• حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ

  Until he could see the Muslims.

  يَنْظُرَ — he looks. A present-tense verb 'he looks/sees' that has been pushed into its goal-marking (subjunctive) shape, with the '-a' ending, because of the particle 'so that' before it. The shift signals that the looking is the intended outcome, not something already happening.

• ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَنْظُرَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ جَلِيسِهِ

  Then he said, "Let every man look at his companion."

  لينْظر — let him look. This fuses a 'let him' command-particle to a present-tense verb, forming a third-person order, 'let each look'. The particle is what turns a plain present into a command aimed at someone other than 'you', and it bends the verb's ending to match. So one small prefix carries the 'let' force.
