يَظُنُّthey suppose

Example sentences

• أَفَيَظُنُّ الَّذِي يُحَارِبُنِي أَنْ يَقُومَ لِي؟

  Does the one who fights me think he can stand up to me?

  أَفَيَظُنُّ — does he think. This stacks a question-marker and a connector onto a verb: it turns the statement into a rhetorical question, 'does he then think?', and the verb is present with a singular 'he' subject built in. The question-marker is the grammar to notice, signalling that no real answer is expected. So one word asks and states at once.
