Arabic vocabulary
تَغْزُو is how you say “invades” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
والذي نفس محمد بيده لولا أن يشق على المسلمين ما قعدت خلاف سرية تغزو في سبيل الله أبدا،
By the One in whose hand is Muhammad's soul, if it were not hard on the Muslims, I would never remain behind any expedition that fights in the cause of Allah, ever,
تَغْزُو — that fights. A present-tense verb, 'it raids/fights', with a built-in 'it' subject, opening a clause describing the expedition. Because the expedition is indefinite, this acts as a describing clause, 'an expedition that fights'; the present form marks ongoing action.
