تَتَبَّعَyou follow

Example sentences

• وَاحْذَرْ أَنْ تَتَبَّعَ سَبِيلَ أَحَدِ رَجُلَيْنِ

  And beware that you follow the path of either of two men:

  تتبعَ — you follow. A present-tense verb whose 'ta-' prefix carries a 'you' subject, pushed by the particle before it into its softened shape. That shift marks the following as the contemplated act the warning targets, the path the listener is told not to take.

• وَتَتَبَّعَ أَصْحَابَهُ؛

  And he pursued his companions.

  وَتَتَبَّعَ — and he pursued. This joins a linking 'and' to a derived-pattern past verb 'pursued / hunted down', whose built-up shape carries a 'go relentlessly after' sense. It carries its own 'he' subject, and the 'and' chains this action onto the previous one.
