يُدْرِكْreach

Example sentences

• وَإِنْ يُدْرِكْنِي يَوْمُكَ حَيًّا أَنصُرُكَ نَصْرًا مُؤَزَّرًا

  And if your day comes while I am alive, I will give you strong, forceful support.

  يُدْرِكْنِي — it overtakes me. A present-shaped verb pushed into the cut-short jussive by the 'if' before it, with -ni ('me') fused on as its object. In a condition like this Arabic clips the verb's ending to mark it as the 'if' part; so it reads 'if it reaches me', the reaching landing on the speaker.
