Example sentences
وعن أسامة بن زيد قال روحوا القلوب تعي الذكر
Usama ibn Zaid said, 'Refresh the hearts so they may retain remembrance.'
تَعِي — they retain. A present-tense verb 'so they may retain'. Its plain shape here carries a purpose sense after the command, 'refresh them so that they keep'; the non-human plural 'hearts' makes the verb take the feminine-singular form.
