Arabic vocabulary
سَكُتَ is how you say “silent” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
حين تسكتُ قليلًا، تسمعُ بوضوحٍ ما يقوله عقلك وما يخفيه قلبك
When you are silent for a while, you clearly hear what your mind says and what your heart hides.
تَسْكُتُ — you are silent. 'you fall silent,' a present verb — the 'you' lives in the front prefix, as present verbs carry it. Under 'when,' it sets the case: a spell of silence, measured by 'a little' next.
