Arabic vocabulary
How to say “thought” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
والنبي وليس معه أحد إذ رفع لي سواد عظيم فظننت أنهم أمتي،
and a prophet with nobody with him until a vast multitude was raised for me, and I thought it was my nation,
فَظَنَنتُ — and I thought. This is 'so' plus a verb 'supposed / thought' with '-tu' = 'I' — 'so I thought'. This verb of opinion takes a 'that'-clause for its content, which comes next. The first-person subject rides in the verb.
