Section 12.3 - Form II. تَفْعِيْلًا taf-ee-lan Form II is called تَفْعِيْلًا ( taf-ee-lan ) . Past tense of this form is فَعَّلَ ( fa'-'a-la ) and imperfect tense is يُفَعِّلُ ( yufa'-'i-loo ) and its source ( Masdar ) is تَفْعِيْلًا taf-'ee-lan . The benefit of this form is that it also changes the meaning of the Verb from normal action to a causative action or in other words from intransitive to transitive. For example, نَزَلَ na-za-la to نَزَّلَ naz-za-la . نَزَلَ na-za-la means to descend/ comedown. When changed to نَزَّلَ naz-za-la , it means to bring down/send down. This is different from form IV in the sense that here the action is not gradual but rather in the meaning of bringing down/sending down all at once.
