يُعَلِّمُنِيwill teach me

Example sentences

• قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يُعَلِّمُنِي كَلِمَاتٍ،

  I said, O Messenger of God, he claims that he will teach me some words.

  يُعَلِّمُنِي — will teach me. A present-tense verb of the teaching pattern, built to mean cause-someone-to-learn, with the 'me' ending attached as its object. So one word carries the doer 'he', the act of teaching, and the recipient 'me' all together, which is how Arabic packs a whole 'he teaches me' into a single form.
