أَنْفَقْتُ is how you say “I spent” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.

He said, "I have not left any cause you would want money to be spent on without my having spent in it for you." He said, "You lied."
أَنْفَقْتُ — I spent. A past-tense verb 'spent' with a built-in first-person 'I' in its -tu ending. It is the positive statement rescued by the preceding 'except', completing 'except that I spent'. The subject sits inside the verb, so the claim of personal spending needs no separate 'I'.
