Arabic Verb Roots – How Arabic Verbs Are Built

This lesson unpacks how Arabic root letters form verbs and related vocabulary. You’ll learn the concept of triliteral and quadriliteral roots, and how various patterns (أوزان) create different verb meanings. We explain how one root can form dozens of words — from verbs to nouns and adjectives. Mastering roots will supercharge your vocabulary and make Arabic feel more systematic. We’ll look at popular roots and derive real-life verbs to demonstrate their utility. This lesson is crucial for recognizing patterns and guessing word meanings from context.
