وَمِنْهَا: «مَتَى» لِلزَّمَانِ شَرْطًا أَوِ اسْتِفْهَامًا، نَحْوُ: «مَتَى تَصُمْ أَصُمْ» وَ«مَتَى تُسَافِرُ؟».
Translation: Matā is used for time, conditionally or interrogatively: “Whenever you fast, I fast,” and “When will you travel?”
Matā concerns time, not place. It can ask “when?” or introduce a temporal condition (“whenever”).
