How to say “I named” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
وَسَمَّيْتُ كِتَابَيَّ هَذَا "مِنْهَاجُ الْقَاصِدَيْنِ وَمُفِيدُ الصَّادِقِينَ"،
I named this my book "The Guide for the Seekers and the Benefit of the Sincere."
وَسَمَّيْتُ — and I named. A past-tense verb fronted by 'wa-' (and), its '-tu' ending marking 'I' as the doer, so one word holds connector, action, and speaker. The 'wa-' ties the naming to the surrounding account, and the suffix carries the 'I' that English states separately.
