رأيتُني على حقٍّ

[Ibn Nacer]

Salut,

I read this sentence in a dictionary : رأيتُني على حقٍّ

This surprises me because I thought that the subject and the object of a verb could not be the same.
I thought we should say رأيت نفسي...

What do you think ?

[Wadi Hanifa]

It's unusual in modern Arabic but technically correct.

 

[Ibn Nacer]

Merici Sun-Shine et Wadi Hanifa.

It is written "... هذه الأفعال ...", I deduce that this is allowed only for certain verbs... is that it?

 

[Sun-Shine]

"هذه الأفعال" refers to doubly transitive verbs.

hi,
maybe I am working crudely regarding some directions. (not sure, because I directly deal with meanings rather than forms)
And I understand the meaning as: "they looked (after) to me (with) well/(truth)" (or something like this)

And how did you find this "meaning"? رأيتُ means I saw. Where did you get that "they"? Not to mention that the rest of your translation is not accurate.
Please don't post guesses lest you confuse others. Thanks.

this reference clearly shows that رأيتُ meant "I saw".

I know what رأيت means. I'm asking why you changed the subject of the verb from "I" to "they". And where did you get that "after" from?
