أَتَتْ is how you say “she came” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in real example sentences from classical texts below.
فَأَتَتْهُ فَأَغَلَظَتْ،
So she came to him and spoke harshly.
فَأَتَتْهُ — so she came to him. Two forces in one word: the fa- continues with a light 'so', and the past verb carries both its feminine 'she' subject and a 'him' object on its tail. So one word holds the link, the coming, the comer, and the man she came to.
From: Wives of the Prophet →حَتَّى أَتَتْ بِهِ وَرَقَةَ بْنَ نَوْفَلٍ
until she brought him to Waraqah ibn Nawfal.
أَتَتْ — she came. A past verb whose '-t' ending marks a feminine 'she', pointing back to Khadijah; the ending alone carries the subject. So no separate doer-word is needed for 'she came'.
From: The Night of Revelation and Consolation →وَإِذَا أَتَتْهُ هَدِيَّةٌ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ،
And whenever a gift came to him, he would send it to them.
أَتَتْهُ — came to him. A past verb 'came' with a feminine subject marker and 'him' attached, so 'it came to him'; the feminine agrees with the gift named next. The verb takes its feminine shape in anticipation of a feminine subject. The attached 'him' is the recipient.
From: Generosity to the Poor →فَأَتَتْ رَاعِيًا،
So she came as a shepherd.
فَأَتَتْ — so she came. The fa- moves to her counter-move and reads 'so/then', and the verb's '-at' marks the doer feminine -- 'she came'. The fa- ties this step tightly to her failed approach: rebuffed, so she tried another way.
From: Those Who Spoke in the Cradle →فَأَتَتْ بِذَلِكَ الْخُبْزِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَفُتِّتَ
She brought that bread, and he ordered it to be crumbled.
فَأَتَتْ — so she brought. The fa- moves to her bringing the bread -- 'so she brought' -- the '-at' marking her feminine. It ties her action to the Prophet's bidding just given.
