تَقَرَّبِيِyou draw near

Example sentences

• وَإِلَى هَذِهِ أَنْ تَقَرَّبِيِ،

  And to this one, "Draw near."

  تَقَرَّبِي — you draw near. This is a present-shaped verb addressed to a feminine 'you', driven into its subjunctive form by the particle just before it. The feminine address agrees with the land being commanded, a gender marking Arabic carries on the verb itself where English shows nothing.
