Arabic vocabulary
How to say “to come” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
لَمْ يَأْتِ رَجُلٌ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ إِلَّا أُوذِيَ،
No man came with what you brought except that he was harmed.
جِئْتَ — you came. A past verb with the 'you' (singular) shown by its tagged-on -ta ending, so subject and verb are one word. It fills the clause opened by 'what': the thing 'you' came with. Paired with the 'with' before it, the bringing reads as 'what you brought'.
From: The Night of Revelation and Consolation →OpenArabic teaches words like جِئْتَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
