Questions & Answers about أنجز المشروع والتزم بالجدول قبل أن تغادر.
Why does أنجز have a hamza on the alif, but التزم doesn't?
أنجز (anjiz) is a Form IV imperative. Form IV is unique among derived verbs because its imperative starts with a regular "cutting hamza" which is always written and pronounced. التزم (iltazim) is a Form VIII imperative, which uses a "connecting hamza" (hamzat wasl) that is skipped over in connected speech.
How exactly should I pronounce والتزم since it has a connecting hamza?
It is pronounced "wa-ltazim". Because التزم starts with a connecting hamza, adding the prefix و (wa) makes that initial alif silent. You merge the words together, jumping straight from the "wa" to the "l" (laam) sound.
Why is there a بـ (bi) attached to الجدول (the schedule)?
The Form VIII verb التزم (to adhere or commit) requires the preposition بـ to point to what you are adhering to. Just as English uses "to" in "adhere to", Arabic always pairs this specific verb with بـ.
Why is the present tense verb تغادر used here instead of an imperative for "leave"?
The phrase قبل أن translates literally as "before that" and must be followed by a present tense verb, not an imperative. Because of the أن, the Form III verb تغادر (you leave) takes the subjunctive mood (mansub), meaning its final vowel is pronounced as a fatha (tughaadira).
