Arabic vocabulary
How to say “was certain” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَمَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِطُوْلِ الطَّرِيقِ،
And whoever was certain that the road was long,
أَيْقَنَ — was certain. A past-tense verb carrying its own 'he' subject inside it, so no separate pronoun is needed. Although the form is past, after the conditional 'whoever' it reads as a timeless 'whoever becomes certain', describing a type of person rather than one finished event.
