Arabic vocabulary
How to say “to return” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
اللَّيَالِيَ ذَوَاتِ الْعَدَدِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ،
For several nights before he returned to his family,
يَرْجِعَ — to return. This present verb sits in its subjunctive shape because of the 'that' just before it; the changed ending is the listener's cue that the returning is the goal point, not something underway. It carries its own 'he' subject inside.
From: The Night of Revelation and Consolation →OpenArabic teaches words like يَرْجِعَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
