يَنْفِقَspend

Example sentences

• قال ما تركت من سبيل تحب أن ينفق فيها إلا أنفقت فيها لك، قال كذبت،

  He said, "I have not left any cause you would want money to be spent on without my having spent in it for you." He said, "You lied."

  يَنْفِقَ — spend. A present-tense verb 'spend' shifted into the special shape demanded by the 'that' particle before it; that ending change is how a listener knows it is the wished-for goal, not a current fact. It is active in form - someone does the spending - and forms the core of the 'that money be spent' clause. The subject is impersonal ('one/money'), supplied by context rather than a separate word.
