تَدْرِknow

Example sentences

• وَلَمْ تَدْرِ مِنْ أَيِّ الْمُحَلِّينَ تَنْزِلُ؟

  And she did not know from which of the places it would come down.

  تَدْرِ — know. A present-shaped verb of knowing, clipped into the short form the preceding negator forces, with its meaning thrown into the past to give 'did not know'. Its feminine 'she/it' subject is built in, agreeing with the eye. So it reports the eye's past ignorance.
