Example sentences

• قَالَ أَسْتَحِي أَنْ أَقُولَهَا

  He said, "I am ashamed to say it."

  أَقُولَهَا — I say it. A present-tense verb whose initial vowel marks 'I' as the doer, pushed into its softened shape by the particle before it, with '-ha' (it) attached as object. That softened form ties it to the shame-verb, giving 'ashamed to say it'.

• قَالَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَقُولَهَا

  He said, "I cannot say it."

  أَقُولَهَا — I say it. A first-person present verb 'I say' in the subjunctive shape (required by the particle before it), with a feminine object -ha attached. The cut-back ending marks it as the content of 'able to...', and the -ha points to the creed-phrase, treated as a feminine 'it'. So one word holds the verb, its mood, and its object.
