Arabic vocabulary
يَذْهَبُ is how you say “vanishes” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in real example sentences from classical texts below.
وَيذْهب طيشه وقوته وحدته
And his impulsiveness, strength, and sharpness vanish.
وَيَذْهَبُ — And vanishes. 'And' plus a present-tense verb 'goes away / departs', its subject coming next. It opens the loss of his agitation.
From: Humility Before the Divine →مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَذْهَبُ فَيَعْلَمُ لَنَا عِلْمَ الْقَوْمِ
Is there a man who will go and learn for us the knowledge of the people?
يَذْهَبُ — will go. This is a present-tense verb with 'he' built into its prefix, describing what the sought man would do. In this volunteering context the present shape carries a future, hypothetical sense: 'will go'. No separate subject word is needed because the verb's own shape encodes the third-person masculine doer.
From: A Spy in the Enemy Camp →ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَذْهَبُ فَيَعْلَمُ لِنَا عِلْمَ الْقَوْمِ
Then he said, 'There is a man who goes and learns the people's knowledge for us.'
يَذْهَبُ — he goes. This present-tense verb carries 'he' in its prefix and describes the action of the hoped-for man. In this request setting it leans future or hypothetical, 'would go'. The doer lives inside the verb, so no separate pronoun appears.
From: A Spy in the Enemy Camp →فَقَالَ مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَذْهَبُ فَيُعْلِمُ لَنَا عِلْمَ الْقَوْمِ
So he said, "Let a man go and find out about the people for us."
يَذْهَبُ — he goes. This present-tense verb has 'he' built into its prefix and describes the sought man's action. In this request frame it carries a would/will sense. The doer rides inside the verb, so no separate pronoun is written.
