How to say “pursues” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
فيطلبه فيهلكه،
He will pursue him and destroy him.
فَيَطْلُبُهُ — will pursue him. This is 'so' plus a present verb 'pursues / seeks' with '-hu' = 'him' — 'so He will pursue him' (Jesus after the Dajjal). Verb, subject, and object ride in one word. The future is carried by the present tense.
From: The Return of Jesus →ولكن العاقل لا يطلب السلامة من التكليف، بل يطلب التوفيق للقيام به
But the wise person does not seek freedom from obligation; rather, he seeks guidance to fulfill it.
يَطْلُبُ — he seeks. A present-tense verb, 'seeks', carrying its own 'he' subject, denied by the negation before it. The present shape makes it a standing habit of the wise.
From: Facing God's Tests →ولكن العاقل لا يطلب السلامة من التكليف، بل يطلب التوفيق للقيام به
But the wise person does not seek freedom from obligation; rather, he seeks guidance to fulfill it.
يَطْلُبُ — he seeks. A present-tense verb, 'seeks', repeated for the positive side of the contrast, carrying its own 'he' subject. The repetition sets the right pursuit against the wrong one.
From: Facing God's Tests →فَإِنَّهُ يَطْلُبُ الْهُبُوطَ؛
For it seeks to descend.
يَطْلُبُ — seeks. A present-tense verb with its 'he/it' subject built into the 'ya-' prefix, so no separate subject word is needed. It is active voice, the water itself doing the seeking, and it carries the main action of this short clause.
From: Guarding the Heart from Heedlessness →OpenArabic teaches words like يَطْلُبُ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
