Conjugation of Irregular Verbs

For description of irregular verb types, you may go here

1) Doubled Verbs

Doubled verbs are verbs that end with a shadda(t), which indicates doubled consonants without a vowel in between.

The imperfective doubled verbs will need to be restored to their original forms in the feminine plural conjugations.

A point we made when we defined the doubled verbs is that there are two types of them; ones that have an omitted short vowel from between the doubled letters (-CvCvC → -CvCC, most of the verb forms) and ones that have a displaced-back short vowel (-CCvC → -CvCC, only forms I, IV, X & QIV in the imperfective).

This distinction is important in the imperfective because this vowel we are talking about is the changeable green short vowel of the imperfective structure.

For the doubled verbs with an omitted short vowel, there will not be a green short vowel in the imperfective because it is omitted. It will appear only when we restore the verbs to their original forms in the feminine plural conjugations.

For the doubled verbs with a displaced-back short vowel, there will be a green short vowel but it will be displaced back in the structure. It will move back to its original position only when we restore the verb to its original form in the feminine plural conjugations.

Example, the form VIII verb:

Original Form	Doubled Verb
اِشْتَدَدَ	اِشْتَدَّ
'ishtadad(a)	'ishtadd(a)
(He) intensified (intr.)

A form VIII verb is a Ya-i verb. However, when this verb is turned into an imperfective, there will be no chance for the green short vowel to show itself because it is deleted:

Original Form	Doubled Verb
يَشْتَدِدُ	يَشْتَدُّ
yashtadid(u)	yashtadd(u)
(He) intensifies (intr.)

The full conjugation:

	المُضَاْرِعُ الْمَرْفُوْعُ Indicative Imperfective (Active Voice) اِشْتَدَّ : اِفْتَعَلَ
S I N G U L A R	(I) intensify	'ashtadd(u)	أَشْتَدُّ
	(You masc.) intensify	tashtadd(u)	تَشْتَدُّ
	(You fem.) intensify	tashtaddeen(a)	تَشْتَدِّيْنَ
	(He) intensifies	yashtadd(u)	يَشْتَدُّ
	(She) intensifies	tashtadd(u)	تَشْتَدُّ
D U A L	(You masc.) intensify	tashtaddaan(i)	تَشْتََدَّاْنِ
	(They masc.) intensify	yashtaddaan(i)	يَشْتَدَّاْنِ
	(They fem.) intensify	tashtaddaan(i)	تَشْتََدَّاْنِ
P L U R A L	(We dual/plu.) intensify	nashtadd(u)	نَشْتَدُّ
	(You masc.) intensify	tashtaddoon(a)	تَشْتَدُّوْنَ
	(You fem.) intensify	tashtadidn(a)	تَشْتَدِدْنَ
	(They masc.) intensify	yashtaddoon(a)	يَشْتَدُّوْنَ
	(They fem.) intensify	yashtadidn(a)	يَشْتَدِدْنَ

The verb stem is restored to its original form in the feminine plural conjugations to prevent the formation of three-consonant clusters (ddn).

This will be the conjugation for all the forms that can be doubled verbs except forms I, IV, X & QIV. For these, the green vowel is displaced not deleted, so it will show up.

Example, a form IV verb:

Original Form	Doubled Verb
أَحْبَبَ	أَحَبَّ
'ahbab(a)	'ahabb(a)
(He) loved/liked

A form IV verb is a Yu-i verb.

Original Form	Doubled Verb
يُحْبِبُ	يُحِبُّ
yuhbib(u)	yuhibb(u)
(He) loves/likes

	المُضَاْرِعُ الْمَرْفُوْعُ Indicative Imperfective (Active Voice) أَحَبَّ : أَفْعَلَ
S I N G U L A R	(I) love	'uhibb(u)	أُحِبُّ
	(You masc.) love	tuhibb(u)	تُحِبُّ
	(You fem.) love	tuhibbeen(a)	تُحِبِّيْنَ
	(He) loves	yuhibb(u)	يُحِبُّ
	(She) loves	tuhibb(u)	تُحِبُّ
D U A L	(You masc.) love	tuhibbaan(i)	تُحِبَّاْنِ
	(They masc.) love	yuhibbaan(i)	يُحِبَّاْنِ
	(They fem.) love	tuhibbaan(i)	تُحِبَّاْنِ
P L U R A L	(We dual/plu.) love	nuhibb(u)	نُحِبُّ
	(You masc.) love	tuhibboon(a)	تُحِبُّوْنَ
	(You fem.) love	tuhbibn(a)	تُحْبِبْنَ
	(They masc.) love	yuhibboon(a)	يُحِبُّوْنَ
	(They fem.) love	yuhbibn(a)	يُحْبِبْنَ

The verb stem is restored to its original form in the feminine plural conjugations.

►Form I Doubled Verbs

Perfective form I doubled verbs have an omitted short vowel.

fa"al(a)
fa"il(a)	→	fa"l(a)
fa"ul(a)

However, if we were to omit the vowel in the imperfective, we would get the following:

yaf"al(u)
yaf"il(u)	→	yaf"l(u)
yaf"ul(u)

Because the a between the first two root-letters is deleted in the imperfective, we would get yaf"l(u) which contains a three-consonant cluster that is unpronounceable.

Therefore, they had to keep the green short vowel in these verbs, but since the resultant structure contained -CCvC, like forms IV, X & QIV, they treated it in a similar manner and displaced the green vowel back -CCvC → -CvCC.

yaf"al(u)		yafa"l(u)
yaf"il(u)	→	yafi"l(u)
yaf"ul(u)		yafu"l(u)

Example, the verb:

Original Form	Doubled Verb
عَدَدَ	عَدَّ
"adad(a)	"add(a)
(He) counted

This is an u verb, it will become:

Original Form	Doubled Verb
يَعْدُدُ	يَعُدُّ
ya"dud(u)	ya"udd(u)
(He) counts

	المُضَاْرِعُ الْمَرْفُوْعُ Indicative Imperfective (Active Voice) عَدَّ : فَعَلَ
S I N G U L A R	(I) count	'a"udd(u)	أَعُدُّ
	(You masc.) count	ta"udd(u)	تَعُدُّ
	(You fem.) count	ta"uddeen(a)	تَعُدِّيْنَ
	(He) counts	ya"udd(u)	يَعُدُّ
	(She) counts	ta"udd(u)	تَعُدُّ
D U A L	(You masc.) count	ta"uddaan(i)	تَعُدَّاْنِ
	(They masc.) count	ya"uddaan(i)	يَعُدَّاْنِ
	(They fem.) count	ta"uddaan(i)	تَعُدَّاْنِ
P L U R A L	(We dual/plu.) count	na"udd(u)	نَعُدُّ
	(You masc.) count	ta"uddoon(a)	تَعُدُّوْنَ
	(You fem.) count	ta"dudn(a)	تعْدُدْنَ
	(They masc.) count	ya"uddoon(a)	يَعُدُّوْنَ
	(They fem.) count	ya"dudn(a)	يَعْدُدْنَ

The verb stem is restored to its original form in the feminine plural conjugations.

Thus, form I doubled verbs change from verbs with an omitted vowel in the perfective to verbs with a displaced-back vowel in the imperfective.

Note that imperfective form I doubled verbs are mostly u verb. There are few that are i or a verbs and most of these are classical verbs.

Some a and i verbs:

Imperfective		Perfective
yazall(u)	يَظَلُّ	zall(a)	ظَلَّ
(he) remains/stays		(he) remained/stayed
yamall(u)	يَمَلًُّ	mall(a)	مَلَّ
(he) becomes bored		(he) became bored
yakall(u)	يَكَلَّ	kall(a)	كَلَّ

(he) escapes		(he) escaped
yakhiff(u)	يَخِفُّ	khaff(a)	خَفَّ
(he) becomes light		(he) was/became light
yaqill(u)	يَقِلُّ	qall(a)	قَلَّ
(he/it) becomes few/little		(he/it) was/became few/little

2) Mithaal Verbs

Mithaal verbs are verbs whose first original letter is a weak letter.

These verbs conjugate regularly in the perfective. In the imperfective, they conjugate regularly in all the forms but forms I & IV. In these two forms, the conjugation can be regular or irregular depending on whether the first original letter is y or w.

►Form I Mithaal Verbs

Y Mithaal Verbs

Form I Mithaal verbs whose first original is y conjugate regularly. These verbs are rare.

Example:

يَبِسَ

yabis(a)

(he) dried up, hardened (intr.)

	(They fem.) harden	yaybasn(a)	يَيْبَسْنَ

W Mithaal Verbs

Form I Mithaal verbs whose first original is w will lose the w in the imperfective if the green vowel of the imperfective is i . If the vowel is a , it will mostly be kept except in some verbs whose second or third root-letters are guttural or throat letters. If the green vowel is u, the w will not be lost.

I. i Verbs

These are the most common of Mithaal verbs. The w of these verbs will be always lost.

Example:

وَجَدَ

wajad(a)

(he) found

(He) found	wajad(a)	وَجَدَ
(He) finds	yawjid(u)	يَوْجِدُ
(He) finds	yajid(u)	يَجِدُ

P L U R A L	(We dual/plu.) find	najid(u)	نَجِدُ
	(You masc.) find	tajidoon(a)	تَجِدُوْنَ
	(You fem.) find	tajidn(a)	تَجِدْنَ
	(They masc.) find	yajidoon(a)	يَجِدُوْنَ

'ayqan(a)

أَيْقَنَ

(He) becomes certain

►Form VIII Mithaal Verbs

Whether w or y, the first original letter of a form VIII Mithaal verb will become a t in all the verbs and verbids derived from the root, including perfective and imperfective verbs, participles, verbal nouns, etc. This transition was explained in this page.

Example:
