أُحِبُّI like

Example sentences

• فَلَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُؤَثِّرَ عَلَيْكِ،

  So I do not like to favor you over others,

  أُحِبُّ — I like. A first-person present-tense verb, 'I like / I love', with the 'I' built into its prefix. Under the negator before it, the liking is denied. It takes the 'to...' clause after it as what is (not) liked, so it heads a statement about the speaker's preference.
