كَلَّمَspeak

Example sentences

• فَقُلْنَ لَهَا كَلِّمِيْهِ حَتَّى يُكَلِّمَكِ،

  And they said to her, 'Speak to him until he speaks to you.'

  يُكَلِّمَكِ — he speaks to you. A verb of the dialogue pattern with its 'he' subject built in and a 'you' (feminine) object attached, sitting in the goal-form because the 'until' before it governs it. That ending marks his replying as the target aimed at, and the suffix names her as the one he would address.
