Arabic vocabulary
سَكَن is how you say “to settle” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فترى الرجل في حال غضبه يتكلم بما يندم عليه إذا سكن غضبه، ويفعل ما يسيء إليه في دينه ودنياه
So you see a man, in his state of anger, speaking words he regrets when his anger subsides, and doing what harms him in his religion and worldly life.
سَكَنَ — subsides. A past-tense verb carrying its own subject inside the 'when' clause: subsides. The past shape here reads as a general timing rather than a single past event.
