عَلَّمَteach

Example sentences

• هكذا يتحوّل الذِّكرُ إلى مدرسةٍ يومية يعلّمك النظرَ الصحيح، يطهّر لسانك من اللغو، ويَشدُّ قلبَك إلى ربّه،

  This is how remembrance becomes a daily school: it teaches you correct perception, purifies your tongue from idle talk, and binds your heart to its Lord,

  يُعَلِّمُكَ — it teaches you. Present 'teaches', with 'you' attached as object — 'teaches you'. The doubled middle is the 'instruct, drill' pattern; subject 'it' (the school) inside, object 'you' on the end.

• فَأَحْمَدُ رَبَّيَّ بِمَحَامِدٍ عَلَّمَنِيهَا،

  So I praise my Lord with praises He taught me.

  عَلَّمَنِيهَا — He taught them to me. A dense single word: a finished-action verb on a doubled-consonant 'teaching' pattern, with -ni ('me') fused on as the one taught and -ha ('them') fused on as what was taught, so it carries doer, deed, and both objects together. The 'He' subject is built in, and the -ha reaches back to the praises just mentioned.

• فَأَحْمَدُ رَبِّي بِمَحَامِدَ عَلَّمَنِيهَا رَبِّي

  So I praise my Lord with the praises my Lord taught me.

  عَلَّمَنِيهَا — taught them to me. A remarkably dense verb: a finished-action body meaning the teaching, plus two stacked object pronouns, -ni for 'me' (the one taught) and -ha for 'them' (the things taught). Arabic lets a verb carry both its indirect and direct objects glued on in order, so a single word names the act and both who and what.

  So I praise my Lord with the praises He taught me.

  عَلَّمَنِيهَا — He taught them to me. A dense finished-action verb with two object pronouns stacked on: -ni for 'me' (the one taught) and -ha for 'them' (the praises taught). Arabic lets a verb carry both objects glued on in order, so one word names the teaching and both its recipients and content.
