Example sentences

• فَقَالُوا هَاتِ الَّذِي أَتَيْتَنَا بِهِ الْبَارِحَةَ

  They said, "Bring the one you brought to us yesterday."

  أَتَيْتَنَا — you brought us. This is a past-tense verb whose ending marks 'you' as the doer, with 'us' attached as the recipient, so one word means 'you brought us'. Both the second-person subject and the 'to us' goal live inside the single verb. It fills the relative clause begun by 'the one that'.
