يَقُولَهَاsay it

Example sentences

• فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَقُولَهَا

  So he cannot say it.

  يَقُولَهَا — he says it. A present verb 'he says' in the subjunctive shape (required by the particle before it), with a feminine object -ha attached. The cut-back ending marks it as the content of 'able to...', and the -ha points back to the phrase he is meant to utter, treated as a feminine 'it'. So one word holds the verb, its mood, and its object.
