Arabic vocabulary
يَنْطِقْspeak
How to say “speak” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
فلم ينطق حملًا لنفسه على التوكل بزعمه،
Thus, he did not speak, believing that remaining silent was trusting in God, according to his claim.
يَنْطِقْ — he speaks. This present-tense verb sits in its cut-off (jussive) shape because of the preceding past-negator, with its 'he' subject built in, together meaning 'he did not speak'. The mood change, not a 'did' helper, carries the negated past.
