Example sentences

يَنَالُنِي حَرُّهُ وَلَا يُؤْذِينِي دُخَانُهُ،
Its heat reaches me, and its smoke does not harm me.
يَنَالُنِي — reaches me. A present-tense verb with the object -ni ('me') attached to its end, all one word. The -ni is the special object form reserved for 'me' after a verb, distinct from the -i used after nouns and prepositions. So the word means an action reaching the speaker; its subject (the heat) comes as the next word, since Arabic often puts the verb before its doer.
