How it works
See what changes
Amber marks the small part that carries the change.
A command to one man uses the bare command form
When speaking to one man, use the short command by itself: tjahhaz for get ready and ighsil for wash.
statement → command
you get ready (m)
get ready! (m)
The command drops the everyday b-present prefix.
Add -i for one woman and -u for a group
Start from the masculine command. Add -i when speaking to one woman, or -u when speaking to two or more people.
man → woman
get ready! (m)
get ready! (f)
The feminine command adds -i.
man → group
get ready! (m)
get ready! (pl)
The group command adds written وا, pronounced -u.
