Arabic vocabulary
How to say “he says” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَإِنْ جَامَعَ إِمْرَأَتَهُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ اللَّهُ فَأَجَامَعَهَا
And if he had intercourse with his wife and did not say the name of Allah, then he had intercourse with her.
يَسْمَعْ — he says. A present-tense verb forced into the cut-off (jussive) shape by the 'did not' before it, meaning 'he did not name (God)'. The clipped ending marks the negator's effect.
From: Staying Firm in Faith →OpenArabic teaches words like يَسْمَعْ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
