How the patterns shape this root
تَعِبَ is to get tired and تَعَب is fatigue. The two form IV participles differ by one vowel and point in opposite directions: مُتْعَب (مُفْعَل, with a) is the person who has been tired out — أَنَا مُتْعَبٌ, I'm tired — while مُتْعِب (مُفْعِل, with i) is the thing that tires you, a tiring day. Form IV أَتْعَبَ is to tire someone out. In everyday speech across the Arab world you will hear تَعْبَان, on the state pattern فَعْلَان.
