Example sentences

• كَانَ يَشْغَلُهَا بِأَوَامِرِ تَتَعَلَّقُ بِعُلُومِهِ،

  He occupied it with matters that relate to his knowledge,

  تَتَعَلَّقُ — that relate to. A present-tense verb opening a relative clause that describes the matters. It takes a feminine-singular shape because Arabic treats the non-human plural 'matters' as a single feminine for agreement, which is what links the clause to that noun. It needs no relative word since the noun it follows is indefinite.
