Questions & Answers about مهما تفعلي تجدي جزاءك.
Why do both تفعلي and تجدي drop their final ن in this sentence?
Because مهما (whatever) is a conditional particle that puts both the condition (the 'whatever' part) and the result (the 'then' part) into the Jussive mood (مجزوم). For the 'you' feminine singular form, the Jussive drops the final ن, changing تفعلين to تفعلي and تجدين to تجدي.
What is the root of تجدي, and why doesn't it have a و?
The root is و ج د (to find). In Form I verbs that start with و, this first letter is dropped in the present tense. So instead of توجدي, it becomes تجدي.
How do we know the correct vowel for the pronoun suffix on جزاءك?
Since the verbs تفعلي and تجدي are conjugated for a female addressed directly (anti), the possessive pronoun 'your' must also match. Therefore, it is pronounced with a kasra as -ki (جزاءكِ).
