A2 verb #1,200 よく出る 10分で読める

يقعد

yaqʿud 上位1,200

At the A1 level, 'yaq'udu' (يقعد) is taught as a basic action verb. Students learn it alongside other daily activities like eating, drinking, and sleeping. The focus is on the third-person singular masculine form 'he sits' and the simple preposition 'on' (ala). At this stage, learners should be able to identify the word in a sentence and use it to describe where someone is located physically, such as 'The boy sits on the chair.' The goal is to build a foundation of high-frequency verbs that describe the immediate environment.

At the A2 level, learners expand their use of 'yaq'udu' to include more subjects (I, you, we, they) and different contexts. They begin to use it with other prepositions like 'with' (ma'a) or 'beside' (bijanib). A2 students also start to encounter the verb in common social situations, such as sitting in a cafe or at a dinner table. They should be able to form simple questions like 'Where do you sit?' and understand the imperative 'Sit down!' in a classroom or home setting. The distinction between 'sitting' and 'staying' in basic dialectal contexts may also be introduced.

Intermediate (B1) learners use 'yaq'udu' in more complex sentence structures, including subordinate clauses. For example, 'He sits in the library because he wants to study.' They also begin to recognize the verb's role in describing habits and routines. At this level, students should be familiar with the past tense (qa'ada) and the future tense (sayuq'udu). They start to see the verb in short stories and news clips, where it might describe a group of people sitting to discuss a problem. The metaphorical use of 'sitting' as 'remaining inactive' might be introduced.

At the B2 level, students explore the nuances between 'yaq'udu' and its synonyms like 'yajlisu.' they understand that 'qa'ada' can imply a longer duration or a specific transition. They are comfortable using the verb in various registers, from formal MSA to colloquial dialects. B2 learners can use the verb in idiomatic expressions and understand its derivative forms, such as 'maq'ad' (seat) or 'qa'ida' (rule/base). They can also use the verb to describe abstract concepts, such as 'sitting on a committee' or 'sitting in judgment.'

Advanced (C1) learners analyze the use of 'yaq'udu' in classical literature, poetry, and religious texts. They understand the deep etymological roots and how the concept of 'sitting' relates to 'foundations' and 'rules' in Arabic thought. They can use the verb to express subtle shades of meaning, such as the difference between sitting out of respect versus sitting out of laziness. C1 students are expected to use the verb flawlessly in complex argumentative essays and formal debates, employing its full range of metaphorical and literal meanings.

At the C2 level, mastery of 'yaq'udu' involves an intuitive grasp of its use across all historical periods of the Arabic language and all modern dialects. The learner can appreciate the word's resonance in the Quran, pre-Islamic poetry, and contemporary political discourse. They can use the verb and its derivatives to discuss complex philosophical ideas about stability, presence, and existence. At this level, the word is no longer just a verb for 'sitting' but a key to understanding the structural and social foundations of the Arabic-speaking world.

練習する例文メモとヒント

يقعد 30秒で

The verb 'yaq'udu' means 'to sit' and is a core part of Arabic daily vocabulary.
It is used for physical sitting and can also mean 'to stay' in many Arabic dialects.
Commonly paired with the preposition 'ala' (on) for surfaces like chairs and benches.
It is a Form I verb from the root Q-A-D, related to words for rules and foundations.

The Arabic verb يقعد (yaq'udu) is a fundamental action verb that every learner must master early in their journey. At its core, it means 'to sit' or 'to take a seat.' However, in the rich tapestry of the Arabic language, its usage extends far beyond the mere physical act of lowering one's body onto a chair. It belongs to the Form I triliteral root qaf-ayn-dal (ق-ع-د), which carries the general sense of sitting, remaining, or being stationary. While often used interchangeably with the verb yajlisu (يجلس), yaq'udu often implies a transition from a standing position to a sitting one, or a sense of staying in a place for a duration of time.

Literal Meaning: To adopt a sitting posture where the weight is supported by the buttocks rather than the feet.
Functional Usage: Used in daily life to describe sitting at a table, in a car, or on the ground. In many Arabic dialects, particularly Egyptian and Levantine, it is the primary word for 'to stay' or 'to remain' in a location.

هو يقعد في المقهى كل صباح ليقرأ الجريدة.

Translation: He sits in the cafe every morning to read the newspaper.

In a cultural context, sitting is a significant social activity in the Arab world. Whether it is 'sitting' for a cup of tea, 'sitting' to resolve a dispute (known as a jalsa or qa'da), or 'sitting' to study, the verb yaq'udu frames the environment of the interaction. It suggests a lack of rush and a commitment to the present moment. In Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), you might find yajlisu more frequently in formal literature, but yaq'udu remains robust in both classical texts and modern speech.

لماذا تقعد وحيداً في الغرفة؟

Translation: Why are you sitting alone in the room?

Dialectal Variation: In Egyptian Arabic, 'bi-yu'ud' (بيعد) is used extensively to mean 'staying' somewhere for a period, such as 'I stayed in Cairo for a week.'

Furthermore, the verb can be used metaphorically. To 'sit' from doing something can imply a failure to act or a state of stagnation. In religious or historical contexts, al-qa'idun refers to those who remained behind and did not participate in a particular endeavor. This depth shows that yaq'udu is not just about physical posture but also about the state of being and presence.

الطالب يقعد منتبهاً لشرح المعلم.

Translation: The student sits attentively to the teacher's explanation.

To summarize, yaq'udu is your go-to verb for sitting in almost any context. Whether you are describing a child sitting on the floor to play, an old man sitting on a bench in the park, or a professional sitting at their desk, this verb provides the necessary clarity and cultural resonance. Understanding its nuances between 'sitting' and 'staying' will significantly improve your fluency in both formal and spoken Arabic.

Using يقعد (yaq'udu) correctly requires an understanding of its conjugation and the prepositions that typically follow it. As a present-tense verb (Mudari'), it changes based on the subject performing the action. The most common preposition used with this verb is 'ala (على), meaning 'on,' as in 'sitting on a chair.' However, you can also use fi (في) for 'in' or ma'a (مع) for 'with.'

Preposition: 'Ala (على): Used for surfaces like chairs, benches, or the ground. Example: 'Yaq'udu 'ala al-kursi' (He sits on the chair).
Preposition: Ma'a (مع): Used to indicate company. Example: 'Yaq'udu ma'a 'a'ilatihi' (He sits with his family).

هي تقعد بجانب النافذة لتشاهد المطر.

Translation: She sits by the window to watch the rain.

When conjugating for different subjects, remember the standard patterns for Form I verbs. For 'I sit,' use aq'udu (أقعد). For 'we sit,' use naq'udu (نقعد). For 'you (masculine) sit,' use taq'udu (تقعد). These variations allow you to describe group activities or personal habits effectively. In a classroom setting, a teacher might say, 'Iq'udu!' (اقعدوا) to tell the whole class to sit down.

نحن نقعد معاً كل مساء لنتحدث.

Translation: We sit together every evening to talk.

Negative Form: To say 'does not sit,' add 'la' (لا) before the verb: 'La yaq'udu' (He does not sit).

In more advanced usage, yaq'udu can be followed by another verb to indicate a continuous state or an action performed while sitting. For example, 'Yaq'udu yaktubu' (He sits writing). This construction is very common in spoken dialects to emphasize that someone is currently engaged in an activity while being stationary. It adds a layer of descriptive detail to your storytelling in Arabic.

هل تقعدون هنا عادةً؟

Translation: Do you (plural) usually sit here?

Finally, consider the imperative forms. If you are inviting a guest to sit, you might say 'Tafaddal, iq'ud' (Please, sit). This is a polite way to offer hospitality. The verb yaq'udu is thus central to the etiquette of hosting and social interaction in Arabic-speaking cultures, making it a vital part of your communicative toolkit.

You will encounter the verb يقعد (yaq'udu) in a vast array of real-life situations, ranging from the most casual street conversations to formal news broadcasts. Its versatility makes it a staple of the Arabic auditory experience. In the home, it is perhaps the most used verb during meal times and family gatherings. Parents will often tell their children 'Iq'ud!' (Sit down!) or 'Uq'ud 'adil' (Sit properly!).

At the Cafe (Al-Maqha): Cafes are the heart of social life. You'll hear people asking, 'Wayn biddak tuq'ud?' (Where do you want to sit?) or 'Khallina nuq'ud hon' (Let's sit here).
Public Transport: On a crowded bus or train, you might hear someone offer their seat: 'Iq'ud makani' (Sit in my place/seat).

الناس يقعدون في الحديقة العامة أيام الجمعة.

Translation: People sit in the public park on Fridays.

In educational settings, the verb is used by teachers to manage the classroom. Beyond the physical act, you'll hear it in the context of 'staying' in a place. In Gulf dialects or Levantine Arabic, if someone asks 'How long are you staying in Dubai?', they might use a form of qa'ada: 'Kam yom biddak tuq'ud?' This usage is crucial because if you only know the word for 'stay' as baqiya, you might miss the meaning in a natural conversation.

لا تقعد على الأرض الباردة.

Translation: Don't sit on the cold floor.

In media and literature, yaq'udu is used to describe political or social situations. For example, a journalist might describe a leader 'sitting' on the throne of power, or a group of protesters 'sitting' in a square (a sit-in is called an i'tisam, but the action is qa'ada). This shows the transition from a simple physical action to a significant political statement.

In Songs and Poetry: Arabic lyrics often use 'sitting' to describe waiting for a loved one or reflecting on memories. 'Qa'id la-hali' (Sitting by myself) is a common trope for loneliness or contemplation.

Whether you are watching a movie, listening to a podcast, or walking through a market in Amman or Cairo, yaq'udu will be one of the most frequent verbs hitting your ears. Its presence is a constant reminder of the importance of presence, patience, and social gathering in the Arabic-speaking world.

Even though يقعد (yaq'udu) seems straightforward, English speakers often stumble on certain nuances and grammatical structures. The most common error involves the confusion between qa'ada and jalasa. While both mean 'to sit,' jalasa is strictly about the posture, whereas qa'ada can imply the transition or the duration of staying.

Mistake 1: Confusing 'Qa'ada' with 'Jalasa': Learners often use 'jalasa' in dialects where 'qa'ada' is preferred. While 'jalasa' is correct in MSA, it can sound overly formal or 'bookish' in a casual street conversation in Cairo or Beirut.
Mistake 2: Incorrect Prepositions: Using 'fi' (in) when 'ala' (on) is required. You sit *on* a chair ('ala al-kursi), not *in* it, unless it's a deep armchair where you are truly enclosed.

خطأ: هو يقعد الكرسي. (Missing preposition)

Correct: هو يقعد على الكرسي.

Another frequent mistake is the conjugation of the present tense. Learners sometimes forget the 'u' sound in the middle syllable of the present tense yaq'udu. It is a 'Dhamma' verb in the present, not 'yaq'ada' or 'yaq'idi'. Paying attention to these small vowel changes is what separates a beginner from an intermediate speaker.

خطأ: أنا يقعد هنا. (Wrong subject conjugation)

Correct: أنا أقعد هنا.

Mistake 3: Overusing it for 'Stay': While 'qa'ada' means 'stay' in dialects, in formal MSA, you should use 'baqiya' (بقي) or 'aqama' (أقام) for staying in a hotel or a country. Using 'yaq'udu' in a formal essay for 'residing' might be seen as too colloquial.

Finally, watch out for the dual and plural forms. Arabic is specific about whether two people are sitting (yaq'udani) or more than two (yaq'uduna). English speakers, used to the single 'they sit,' often default to the singular or plural masculine, missing the nuance of the dual form which is very common in classical and formal Arabic.

To truly master the concept of 'sitting' in Arabic, you must understand the alternatives to يقعد (yaq'udu) and when to choose one over the other. The most direct synonym is yajlisu (يجلس), but there are several others that describe specific types of sitting or related states.

يجلس (Yajlisu): The standard MSA word for sitting. It is often preferred in formal writing and news. Some linguists say 'jalasa' is sitting from a lying position, while 'qa'ada' is sitting from a standing position.
يتكئ (Yattaki'): To lean or recline. This is a more relaxed form of sitting, often against a cushion or a wall.

بدلاً من أن يقعد، فضل أن يتكئ على الأريكة.

Translation: Instead of sitting, he preferred to lean back on the sofa.

If you want to describe someone 'staying' or 'remaining' without necessarily focusing on their physical posture, you might use yabqa (يبقى). While yaq'udu is used for staying in dialects, yabqa is the standard term for remaining in a state or location. For example, 'He remains (yabqa) silent' vs 'He sits (yaq'udu) in the room.'

المسافر يقعد في صالة الانتظار.

Translation: The traveler sits in the waiting lounge.

يتربع (Yatarabba'): To sit cross-legged. This is a very specific and culturally common way of sitting on the floor in many Arab countries.
يستقر (Yastaqirru): To settle down or become stable. This is used metaphorically for someone settling in a new city or job.

In summary, while yaq'udu is your primary tool, knowing when to use yajlisu for formality, yatarabba' for posture, or yattaki' for comfort will make your Arabic sound much more natural and precise. Each of these words carries a different 'flavor' of being stationary, reflecting the importance of physical presence in Arabic culture.

よくある間違い

Using 'yaq'udu' without a preposition for a chair. → يقعد على الكرسي
In Arabic, you must sit 'on' (ala) the chair. Saying 'yaq'udu al-kursi' sounds like the chair is the object being sat, which is grammatically incorrect.
Confusing 'yaq'udu' (sit) with 'yaqudu' (drive). → يقعد (sit) vs يقود (drive)
The 'ayn' (ع) in 'yaq'udu' is crucial. Without it, you are saying 'he drives' or 'he leads'.
Using 'yaq'udu' for 'stay' in a formal MSA essay. → يقيم أو يبقى
While 'yaq'udu' means 'stay' in dialects, it is considered too informal for high-level academic or formal writing in Modern Standard Arabic.
Incorrect present tense vowel (yaq'ada). → يقعد (yaq'udu)
This verb follows the 'u' pattern in the present tense. Using 'a' or 'i' is a common conjugation error.
Mixing up 'yaq'udu' and 'yajlisu' in specific cultural contexts. → Use 'yaq'udu' for social gatherings.
While both are okay, 'yaq'udu' often feels more 'social' and 'informal', whereas 'yajlisu' can feel like a cold physical description.

ヒント

Vowel Check

Remember the middle vowel in the present tense is a 'Dhamma' (u). It is 'yaq'udu', not 'yaq'ada'. This is a common point of confusion for students learning Form I verbs.

Hospitality

When a guest enters, always say 'Tafaddal, iq'ud' (Please, sit). It is a key part of Arabic hospitality to offer a seat immediately.

The Silent Qaf

In cities like Cairo or Beirut, the 'q' (ق) is often not pronounced. You will hear 'yu'ud' instead of 'yaq'udu'. Don't let this trip you up; it's the same word!

Root Power

Connect 'yaq'udu' to 'qa'ida' (rule). Think of a rule as something that is 'seated' or 'fixed' in place. This helps you remember both words.

Sitting vs. Staying

If you are in a dialect-heavy environment, use 'yaq'udu' for 'staying.' If you are writing an academic paper, use 'baqiya' or 'aqama' for 'staying' and 'yajlisu' for 'sitting'.

Cross-legged

If you see someone sitting cross-legged on the floor, the specific verb is 'yatarabba'. It's a great word to impress native speakers with your specific vocabulary.

Don't be Idle

The phrase 'la taq'ud' can be a powerful way to tell someone to take action. It's more than just 'don't sit'; it's 'don't be passive'.

The Ayn

The 'ayn' (ع) in the middle is a squeeze in the throat. Practice saying 'yaq-' then a small squeeze, then '-udu'. It's the most 'Arabic' part of the word.

Feet Warning

When you 'yaq'udu' on the floor, ensure your feet are tucked away and not pointing directly at anyone's face, as this can be seen as rude in traditional settings.

Personification

In poetry, authors often make abstract things 'sit' (like silence or history). This adds a sense of weight and permanence to the description.

チャレンジ

Try to use 'yaq'udu' in three different sentences today: one about sitting on a chair, one about sitting with a friend, and one about sitting in a specific room.

語源

Derived from the Semitic root Q-A-D, which is found in various forms across Afroasiatic languages. In Arabic, it is a primary Form I verb.

元の意味： The core meaning relates to being stationary, settling, or taking a base position.

Semitic -> Central Semitic -> Arabic.

文化的な背景

Be aware that 'Muq'ad' (disabled) should be used with care and respect in modern contexts.

In English, 'to sit' is very functional. In Arabic, 'yaq'udu' can feel more permanent or state-oriented.

The 'Qa'ida' (Base) - a term used in various political and historical contexts. Surah Al-Qa'idah in some historical references (though not a Surah name, the root appears often). The poem 'Al-Atlal' mentions sitting amidst ruins.
