أَدْرَكْتُI reached

Example sentences

• فَقَالَ عُمَرُ الآنَ أَكُونُ أَدْرَكْتُ أُمِّي،

  Then Umar said, "Have I now reached my mother?"

  أَدْرَكْتُ — I reached. This is a completed-action verb with the 'I' subject built in, meaning 'I requited / made up for'. Paired with the 'be' form before it, it reads as 'have I made up for'. It takes the noun after it as what he wonders whether he has repaid: his mother.
