Example sentences
دَعَوْتُ زَوْجَتَيَّ لِفَتْحِ الْبَابِ،
I called my two wives to open the door.
لِفَتْحِ — to open. This bundles the preposition li- ('to, in order to') with an action-noun, the naming form of a verb, to express purpose: 'in order to open'. Li- before such an action-noun is Arabic's standard 'so as to' device, and it puts that action-noun in the genitive. It tells why the wives were called.
