How the patterns shape this root
عَشَاء with a fatha is dinner, the evening meal; الْعِشَاء with a kasra is the night prayer, the last of the five, prayed after dusk — two words a learner must keep apart by their first vowel. Form V تَعَشَّى is to have dinner, as تَغَدَّى is to have lunch. عَشِيَّة is the evening or the eve of a day, as in عَشِيَّةَ الْعِيدِ.
