اندفقpoured forth

Example sentences

• تقول دفقته فاندفق كما تقول كسرته فانكسر

  You say, 'I poured it, so it poured forth,' just as you say, 'I broke it, so it broke.'

  فَانْدَفَقَ — so it poured forth. fa- (so) on a reflexive/middle past-tense verb, 'so it poured forth of itself'. This pattern, built with an n- infix, turns the action inward so the thing does the action to itself; it contrasts the active 'you poured' with the resulting self-happening.
