Q

Verbs that use ‘to’ or ‘for’.
How to use, and how to conjugate?

NOTE about alternative?

A

For example, ‘pay’, ‘write’, ‘say’

(1) You must use ل to denote ‘to’ or ‘from’
For example:
- ‘I sent to Sami’: أنا بعت لسامي
- ‘I sent to the office’: أنا بعت للمكتب
Notice that we remove the ا from ال because we like to simplify our writing

(2) Conjugation is different

For example: sent = بعت
‘I sent to you’ can be written as:
- أنا بعتت إلَك
- أنا بعتّلك
Regardless of how it’s written, they’re always pronounced together

(3) When combining with ال, remove the Alef: ل+ال becomes لل
For example: ل + الولد becomes للولد

(4) ALTERNATIVE:
In some contexts, we can use either ل or عشان for the word ‘for’:
- Either لإلك
- Or عشان if we want to imply: ‘for the benefit of’. For example, ‘I went to the market FOR the discout’
