More example sentences
وَكُنْتُ أَقُولُ لَهُ يَا بُنَيَّ،
And I would say to him, "My son,"
أَقُولُ I say
A first-person present-tense verb, 'I say', with the 'I' built into its prefix. On its own it would mean a present action, but riding on the past 'to be' before it, it reads as a past habit, something the speaker would do repeatedly. The present shape supplies the repeated, open-ended feel while the earlier verb supplies the past time.
فَأَقُولُ، يَا بُنْيَّ تَعَلَّمْ أَنَّي لَا أَشْرَبُ نَهَارًا
So I say, my son, know that I do not drink during the day.
فَأَقُولُ so I say
A connector fa- ('so') fused to the present verb 'I say', with the 'I' inside the verb. The fa- ties this speech-turn to the previous one as a response in the back-and-forth. Connector and verb sit together in one written word, opening the speaker's reply.
ثُمَّ أَرْجِعُ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا بَقِيَ فِي النَّارِ
Then I return and say, O Lord, who remains in the Fire?
فَأَقُولُ then I say
The opening fa- links this speaking to the return as its immediate next move, so the saying flows straight from the returning. The rest is a present-tense 'I' verb with the speaker inside the prefix, hinge and actor in one word.
فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أَقُولُ لَكَ
So when the Day of Resurrection comes, I will say to you.
أَقُولُ I will say
A present-tense verb 'I say' with its 'I' subject built in; in this future-leaning context it reads 'I will say'. It is the main result of the 'when' frame, what God does once that Day arrives.
وَلاَ أَقُولُ كَيْفَ تَغَلُّبِ حَلَاوَةٍ اللَّذَّاتِ؟
Nor will I say, "How did the sweetness of pleasures prevail?!"
أَقُولُ I say
A present-tense verb with its 'I' subject built into the 'a-' prefix, so no separate 'I' is needed. Negated before it, it means 'I do/will not say', and it introduces the quoted rhetorical question that follows.
