شِئْتَwish

Example sentences

• فَقُلْتُ مَرِنِيَّ يَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِمَا شِئْتَ

  I said, "Command me as you wish, O Messenger of God."

  شِئْت — you wished. This is a past-tense verb whose ending marks 'you' (masculine singular) as the doer, completing the 'whatever you wish' clause. The 'you' is carried by the verb's tail, so no separate pronoun is written. It tells what fills the open relative just before it.

  He said, "He says, do as you wish."

  شِئْت — you wished. A past-tense verb with a 'you' (singular) subject built into its ending, completing the 'whatever you wished' idiom. Though past in form, in this fixed phrase it carries a timeless 'as you wish' sense. The 'you' addressee is marked inside the verb, not spelled out.
