Example sentence

فَقَامَ مُؤذن النَّصْر يُنَادي على رُؤُوس منائر الْأَمْصَار

The caller to victory stood proclaiming from the tops of the minarets of the cities.

يُنَادِي he is proclaiming

A present-tense verb with the subject 'he' inside it, painting an ongoing scene: he keeps calling out. It comes from a root whose final letter is weak, so the verb ends in a long vowel rather than a hard consonant.

More example sentences

تنادوا هلموا إلى حاجتكم،

they call out: "Come to what you seek!"

تَنَادَوْا they call out

A Form VI verb 'call out to one another', with '-aw' = 'they' — the reciprocal pattern means they summon each other. So the angels cry out among themselves. Its content (the call) follows.

From Where Angels Gather

إذ نادى منادي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الصلاة جامعة

When a caller from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) announced the gathering for prayer.

نَادَى announced

A past-tense verb, 'he called out', with the 'he' subject built into the form. It introduces the action that interrupts the camp scene; the doer is named separately right after, so the verb leads and its subject follows, a normal Arabic word order.

From A Prophet Warns His People

نُودُوا أَنِ اصْرِفُوهُمْ عَنْهَا فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا نَصِيبَ لَهُمْ فِيهَا

A voice called out: Turn them away from it, for they have no share in it.

نُودُوا they were called

This is the passive: the people are the ones called to, not the one calling, and Arabic marks the passive by the verb's inner vowel pattern with no helper word. So it reads 'they were called out to'.

From Turned Away at the Gate

فَنَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،

Then he cried out in his loudest voice, "I bear witness that there is no god but God."

فَنَادَى then he cried out

The fa- prefix chains this cry directly onto the arrival before it. The verb is past with 'he' inside, so the prefix's only job is to mark 'and then, as a result' — keeping the narration moving step by step.

From A Stranger Finds the Prophet

فَنَادَى الصَّلٰوَةَ جَامِعَةً

Then he called for the prayer to be held in congregation.

فَنَادَى then he called

A 'then' is fused to a past-tense verb meaning 'called out/proclaimed', its 'he' subject built in. The 'then' moves the story to his summons for prayer. The verb sets up the following noun as what was called for.

From Stories of Prophetic Judgments

والتهوع بالتسهيل، وأتى بكل خلاف ونادى على نفسه أنا أبو فلان فاعرفوني فإني عارف بالسبع

He put on an ostentatious display of making things easy, entered every dispute, and cried out about his self, "I am the father of so-and-so; recognize me, for I know of the seven."

وَنَادَى and cried out

The connector wa- 'and' opens another clause, then a past-tense verb 'called out/proclaimed' with a built-in 'he' subject. The wa- chains this to the previous deeds, continuing the list of his showy acts. The subject sits inside the verb, so no separate pronoun is needed.
