Usage
Rfed is a very common verb for carrying or lifting a load: rfed had sh-shanta (carry this bag). It also means to take along or pick up: rfed m3ak lma (take water with you). In rfed rask, it means "lift your head". Figuratively, ma rfedtch had chi means "I couldn't bear that". Pitfall for learners: rfed does not mean "to refuse". The noun rafd (rejection) belongs to Standard Arabic. In the present tense, one says kayrfed.
