Appendix talk:Arabic verbs

The example verbs given are quite seriously mistranslated. Why are no sources given?--عبد المؤمن (talk) 11:26, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

This is not Wikipedia. We don’t list sources for such things. In most cases, the source is the editor himself. Clarify, what did you mean by the verbs being seriously mistranslated? Are you referring to the use of the infinitive in English? —Stephen ^(Talk) 03:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

تَسَلَّمَ — to receive the surrender.

Hi, could sb. please clarify its meaning? Thanks. --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:56, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Wehr says the most common meaning is "get, obtain". The closest thing to "receive the surrender" that he mentions is "to have something handed over or delivered". So, when Saladin (صَلَاح الدِّين (ṣalāḥ ad-dīn)) defeated the Crusaders, I guess you could put him as the subject of تَسَلَّمَ (tasallama) and the Crusaders as the object (assuming their defeat involved surrender). — Eru·tuon 10:19, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Or تسلم السلطة (tasallama-s-sulṭa), he received the surrender of authority, he came to power. —Stephen ^(Talk) 08:35, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

The meaning this form imparts is the reflexive or sometimes passive, of the first form.

Hi, it is the second form, II, سَلَّمَ 'to hand over, deliver' that اِسْتلم 'to receive' seems to be the passive of. Thank you in advance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:15, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

اِسْتَلَمَ (istalama) is made from the first form, سَلِمَ (salima). If it were made from the second form, the middle radical ل would be doubled (istallama). Form X is always made from form I. —Stephen ^(Talk) 08:21, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

إبْتاع

HI, should form VIII be related to the opposite meaning of I, e.g. إبْتاع 'to buy' from باع 'to sell'. Thanks in advance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:55, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
