جَلَسْتَyou sit in Arabic

Example sentences

• ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ إِذَا جَلَسْتَ الْيَوْمَ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ

  Then he said to him, 'If you sit in the council today.'

  جَلَسْتَ — you sit. Past-shaped verb with 'you' (one male) in its ending, but under the condition-word it reads as a future 'when you sit'. Arabic regularly uses the completed shape after this 'when' to describe a not-yet-real event.
