أَشْبَعَsatisfy

Example sentences

• وَمَا أَشْبَعَ مِنْ مُطَالَعَةِ الْكُتُبِ،

  And reading books did not satisfy me.

  أَشْبَعَ — satisfy. A past-tense verb here under the ma-negation just before it. The form is causative, 'to make full/satisfy', so with the negation it reports that the reading never managed to satisfy. The negated past states plainly that the satisfying did not occur.
