Overview
*Pode* chover, mas estou com preguiça de pegar um guarda-chuva? Em árabe, existe uma palavrinha de duas letras que captura perfeitamente essa vibe de incerteza:
qad (قَد).talvez, pode ser ou às vezes. Ela rebaixa a certeza de uma frase de Isso vai acontecer! para É, pode acontecer.How This Grammar Works
qad é um pouco camaleoa. O significado muda completamente dependendo do *tempo* do verbo que a segue. Quando você coloca qad na frente de um verbo no Presente (Imperfieto), ela age como um suavizador.Ele vai à academia (fato) e Ele *pode* ir à academia(especulação). É incrivelmente útil para falar sem se comprometer com 100% de precisão.
Formation Pattern
qad (قَد) não importa de quem você esteja falando.
