رَاجِعreturn in Arabic

Example sentences

• كان والله إذا أقبل كأنه رجع من دفن حميمه،

  By Allah, when he approached, it was as if he were returning from burying a loved one.

  رَاجِعٌ — returning. This is an active participle used as a predicate, describing him as 'returning', a doer-of-the-action noun rather than a finite verb. Arabic states such a 'he is X-ing' simply by naming the participle, with no separate 'is'.
