تَقْضِيmeet

Example sentences

• وَأَنَّهَا لَا تَقْضِي حَاجَتَهَا إِلَّا وَظَهْرَيَّ مَطِيَّةٍ لَهَا،

  and that she does not meet her needs except by using my back as her mount.

  تَقْضِي — she meets. This is a present-shape verb with the 'she' subject built into it, denied by the 'not' before it. The present form marks an ongoing inability: she cannot, as a standing fact, meet her own needs. It then leans on the 'except' phrase to name the sole way she manages.
