Exploring Arabic Verbs: The Shared Roots of تَصَدَّقَ, صَدَّقَ, صَدَقَ, and صَادَقَ
In Arabic, many verbs come from the same root letters, but they mean different things depending on how the letters are arranged. Let’s look at the root letters ص-د-ق (ṣ-d-q) and learn about some common verbs made from them.
One of these verbs is “صَدَقَ” (ṣadaqa), which means “to tell the truth.” When you use this verb, you’re speaking honestly and sincerely.
Another verb from the same root is “صَادَقَ” (ṣādaqa), meaning “to befriend.” When you “صَادَقَ” someone, you’re making friends and building trust.
Then, there’s “صَدَّقَ” (ṣaddaqa), which means “to believe.” This verb is about having faith or trust in something or someone.
Lastly, “تَصَدَّقَ” (taṣaddaqa) means “to give charity.” This verb is about giving generously to those who need it, showing kindness and care.
Even though these verbs have the same root, they mean different things. Learning about Arabic verbs with the same root can help you understand Arabic better and improve your language skills.
