“Dreamt” (past) in Tunisian Arabic

In Tunisian Arabic, “Dreamt” (the verb, in the past tense) is written using the Latin script as:

(I) 7lemt

(You) 7lemt

(You, plural) 7lmtou

(He) 7lem

(She) 7elmet

(We) 7lemna

(They) 7elmou

Using the Arabic script, it is written as:

حلمت (I)

(Editing note: In Tunisian Arabic, Dream, in the context of sleeping, and Dream, in the context of a future plan, can both use this verb series. When it comes to a future plan, alternatively, the 7abit / حبيت (I form) verb series can be used. (7abit means Wanted) For more information see the IBL page “Wanted” (past) in Tunisian Arabic.)
