أَقُولsay

Example sentences

• وأنا أكشفه لك فأقول مساوئه

  I will disclose it to you by mentioning its flaws.

  فَأَقُولُ — so I say. The connector 'so / thereby' joined to a present-tense verb with 'I' built in, 'so I say'. The 'so' frames the saying as the means by which the disclosure is carried out.

• فأرفع رأسي، فأقول أمتي يارب، أمتي يا رب،

  I raise my head and say: "My community, my Lord, my community, my Lord."

  فَأَقُولُ — and say. Again 'fa-' chains the speaking onto the raising and the first-person present verb folds in the 'I' subject, so 'so I say'. The prefix keeps the actions in sequence.
