Arabic vocabulary
How to say “relate” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَجَعَلْتُ أَبْثُ ذَلِكَ الْحَدِيثَ الَّذِي أَمَرَنِي بِهِ
And I began to relate that hadith which he had commanded me to relate.
أَبْثُ — relate. This is a present-tense verb with 'I' built in, paired with the 'began' verb before it to mean 'I started to relate'. The present shape after 'began' is Arabic's way of showing an action getting going. The doer rides inside the verb.
