How to say “see” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
يَا رَسُول الله لَو أَن أحدهم نظر إِلَى مَا تَحت قَدَمَيْهِ لَأَبْصَرنَا تَحت قَدَمَيْهِ
O Messenger of Allah, if one of them were to look beneath his feet, he would see us.
لَأَبْصَرَنَا — he would see us. The 'la-' that answers a 'law' counterfactual, prefixed to a past-tense verb 'caught sight of' with '-na' (us) attached — 'he would have seen us'. The 'la-' is the grammatical signal that this is the answer to an unreal condition.
