حَمَلْتُI carried

Example sentences

• حَمَلْتُ أُمِّي عَلَى رَقَبَتِي مِنْ خُرَاسَانَ

  I carried my mother on my neck from Khurasan.

  حَمَلْتُ — I carried. A past-tense verb whose ending -tu does double duty: it both fixes the action in the past and announces 'I' as the doer, so no separate word for 'I' is needed. Where English splits this into pronoun plus verb, Arabic folds the speaker into the verb's tail. This first-person form sets the personal, testimonial tone of the whole sentence.
