Arabic vocabulary
بَقِيَتْ is how you say “remained” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَبَقِيَتْ مَرَارَةُ الأَسَى بِلَا مُقَاوِمٍ،
So the bitterness of grief remained, with no one to oppose it,
فَبَقِيتْ — so remained. The connector fa- ('so') fused to a past-tense verb ('remained'), marked feminine by the final '-t' to agree with its subject. The fa- draws this as the consequence of the previous change: since the sweetness turned bitter, the bitterness remained.
