Example sentences

• فَقُلْتُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَتَزَوَّجَ؟

  I said to Muhammad, "What prevents you from marrying?"

  يَمْنَعُكَ — prevents you. A present-tense verb ('prevents') with the suffix '-ka' ('you') fused on as its object, so 'prevents you' is one word. The verb's 'it' subject answers the question word 'what', and the attached pronoun is the one held back.
