Example sentences

لَئِن أدركتهم لأقتلنهم قتل عَاد
If I were to encounter them, I would surely kill them like the killing of Aad.
لَأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ — I would surely kill them. This verb carries a heavy emphasis ending, a doubled n suffix that Arabic adds to swear a strong promise, plus the 'surely' prefix and an attached 'them'. So one word delivers an emphatic vow, 'I will most certainly kill them', with the swearing built into its shape.
