أَسْتَجِمُّrefresh

Example sentences

• وقال أبو الدرداء إني لأستجم نفسي ببعض الباطل كراهية أن أحمل عليها من لحق ما يكلها

  And Abu al-Darda said, 'Indeed, I refresh myself with some idle talk, fearing that I might burden it with so much truth that it becomes weary.'

  لَأَسْتَجِمُّ — I refresh. This fronts a stressing la- 'truly' onto a present-tense verb with 'I' built in; the la- adds emphasis, 'I do indeed refresh'. Arabic can prefix this little la- for assertion where English would use 'do' or 'really'.
