هو يحسب النتيجة.

A careful full reading in MSA is:

huwa yaḥsibu an-natījata

A few notes:

• هو = huwa
• يحسب is commonly read here as yaḥsibu
• النتيجة is written with الـ, but because ن is a sun letter, it is pronounced an-natīja..., not al-natīja...

If you pause at the end of the sentence, the ending is usually not fully pronounced, so you will often hear:

huwa yaḥsibu an-natījah

That final -h sound comes from ة in pause.

يحسب is in the imperfect form, which usually covers what English expresses as:

• he calculates
• he is calculating
• sometimes he will calculate if the context points to the future

So Arabic does not need a separate form for calculates versus is calculating. Context tells you which meaning is intended.

In the imperfect verb system, the prefix يـ usually marks third person masculine singular.

So يحسب means:

• he calculates
• he is calculating

That is why the verb already contains the idea of he.

Because the independent pronoun هو can be added for:

• emphasis
• clarity
• contrast

So:

• يحسب النتيجة = He calculates the result
• هو يحسب النتيجة = He calculates the result / He is the one calculating the result

In many contexts, هو is optional.

Yes. That is a complete and natural sentence.

Arabic often allows the subject pronoun to be omitted because the verb already shows the person, gender, and number.

So both are possible:

• يحسب النتيجة
• هو يحسب النتيجة

Using هو usually adds a little more emphasis or makes the subject more explicit.

Because ن is one of the sun letters.

With sun letters, the ل in الـ is not pronounced. Instead, the following consonant is doubled in pronunciation.

So:

• written: النتيجة
• pronounced: an-natīja...

The spelling stays the same, but the pronunciation changes.

Because النتيجة is the direct object of the verb يحسب.

In fully inflected MSA, a direct object takes the accusative case, so you get:

• النتيجةَ = an-natījata

In pause, that final short vowel is usually dropped, so you often hear:

• an-natījah

So the full grammatical form is accusative, even if everyday reading aloud often simplifies the ending.

الـ is the definite article, meaning the.

So:

• النتيجة = the result
• نتيجة = a result or result

In this sentence, النتيجة refers to a specific result, not just any result.

The root is ح-س-ب.

This root is connected with ideas like:

• counting
• calculating
• reckoning
• considering

A very common related word is:

• حساب = calculation, account, arithmetic

Learning roots helps you recognize related vocabulary across Arabic.

No. The same written form يحسب can also mean things like:

• he thinks
• he supposes
• he considers

Arabic usually leaves short vowels unwritten, so the exact meaning is often determined by:

• context
• vowel marks, if they are written
• how the word is read aloud

In your sentence, the intended meaning is clearly calculates because of the object النتيجة.

For a beginner, the easiest way to understand it is simply as:

subject + verb + object

So:

• هو = subject
• يحسب = verb
• النتيجة = object

In traditional Arabic grammar, because the sentence starts with هو, it is often analyzed as a nominal sentence whose predicate is the verbal clause يحسب النتيجة.

But for practical learning, it is perfectly fine to think of it as:

He calculates the result.
