“Considers” (third-person) in Tunisian Arabic

In Tunisian Arabic, “Considers” (the verb, in the third-person participle) is written using the Latin script as:

(m) Ykhamem

(f) Tkhamem

Using the Arabic script, it is written as:

 يخمّم (m)

تخمّم (f)

(Editor’s note: In Tunisian Arabic, Ykhamem / يخمّم and Tkhamem / تخمّم also mean Thinks, the verb, as in deliberately thinking, in the third-person participle.)
