Arabic vocabulary
How to say “I leaped” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَوَثَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذْتُ بِيَدِهِ مَخَافَةً أَنْ يَأْخُذَنِي
I leaped at him and seized his hand, fearing that he might take me.
فَوَثَبت — so I leaped. The sequence-connector 'so' is fused to a past-tense verb whose ending marks 'I' as the doer, moving the action to the narrator's leap. It ties this move to the scene just set. The 'I' lives in the verb's tail, so no separate pronoun appears.
