تَرُدُّreplied

Example sentences

• قَالَ فَتَكَلَّمَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَرُدُّ عَلَى زَيْنَبِ،

  He said, and then Aisha spoke, replying to Zaynab.

  تَرُدُّ — she replied. A present-shape verb running alongside the main action to describe how she spoke ('replying'); it sets the manner rather than starting a new event. Arabic frequently uses this unfinished form for a simultaneous, descriptive action where English would use an '-ing' word.
