Example sentences

• فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِ أَبُو جَهْلٍ حَتَّى قَالَ أَمَّا إِذْ غَلَبْتَنِي،

  So Abu Jahl did not cease at him until he said, "As for when you have overcome me,"

  غَلَبْتَنِي — you have overcome me. A past verb with 'you' in its -ta ending plus attached -ni 'me' as object — 'you overcame me'. Doer and done-to ride on one word; it states the fact the speaker now concedes.
