ثَمَّرَinvest in Arabic

Example sentences

• وقال الثالث اللهم استأجرت أجراء وأعطيتهم أجرهم غير رجل واحد ترك الذى له وذهب، فثمرت أجره حتى كثرت منه الأموال،

  The third said: 'O Allah, I hired laborers and paid them their wages except for one man who left without taking his pay. I invested his wages until they multiplied into wealth.'

  فَثَمَّرْتُ — I invested. This pairs the connector fa- ('so/then') with a past-tense verb holding 'I', 'so I grew/invested it'. The fa- marks this as the speaker's response to the abandoned wage, turning the leftover pay into growing capital.
