Arabic vocabulary
How to say “I obtain” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
كُنْتُ أَحَقُّ أَنَا أَنْ أُصِيبَ مِنْ هَذَا اللَّبَنِ شَرْبَةً أَتَقَوَّى بِهَا،
I was more entitled to take a drink of this milk to strengthen myself.
أُصِيبَ — I obtain. A present-form verb 'obtain/get' shifted into its subjunctive ending by the 'that' before it, with 'I' built in; so 'that I obtain'. The changed ending is the mark of the subordinated, aimed-at action. The subject is inside the verb.
