Example sentences

• كان ابن عباس إذا جلس مع أصحابه حدثهم ساعة ثم قال حمضونا، فيأخذ في أحاديث العرب ثم يعود يفعل ذلك مرارًا

  When Ibn Abbas sat with his companions, he would talk to them for an hour and then say, 'Refresh us,' and would start discussing Arab stories before returning, doing this repeatedly.

  حَمِّضُونَا — refresh us. A plural command 'refresh us', the -u marking the order to a group, with the attached -na 'us' as its object; so the one word says 'you all, lighten things for us'.
