Questions & Answers about نعود من السهرة مبكرا لأننا لا نستمتع بها.
Why does the verb نعود have a و (waw) in it when the past tense is عاد?
This is a 'hollow' verb, meaning its middle root letter is a weak vowel. In the past tense, it is عاد with an alif. But in the present tense, that middle vowel alternates depending on the root. For this specific verb, the alif changes to a waw (و), making it نعود (we return).
Why does مبكرا (early) end with an alif and two accent marks?
How is the word لأننا (because we) formed?
It is a combination of two parts: لأن (because) and the attached pronoun suffix ـنا (we/us). When you want to say 'because I', 'because you', or 'because we', you must attach the matching pronoun suffix directly to the word لأن.
Why is there a بها at the very end of the sentence, and what does it refer to?
The verb نستمتع (we enjoy) requires the preposition بـ to introduce the thing being enjoyed. So instead of saying 'we enjoy it' directly, Arabic says 'we enjoy with it'. The attached pronoun ـها (it) is feminine because it refers back to السهرة (the evening gathering), which is a feminine noun.
