Qal: hear, perceive aurally; Qal: listen, heed, pay attention; Hifil: cause to hear, proclaim, announce; Niphal: be heard (passive); Qal: obey, submit, comply
Senses
1. Qal: hear, perceive aurally — Basic auditory perception in Qal — the ear receives sound. Arabic consistently uses سَمِعَ (samiʿa) in perfective and يَسْمَعُ (yasmaʿu) in imperfective, the unmarked root meaning 'to hear/perceive.' Korean uses the neutral 듣다/들다 (deutda/deulda) 'to hear,' and Swahili uses the base form -sikia 'to hear/feel/perceive' without any derivational extensions. This is the core physical-perceptual sense: sound reaching the ear and being registered, as in 'David heard that Nabal was dead' or 'the sound of the trumpet was heard.' Hindi सुना/सुनी (sunā/sunī) in simple past and सुनता है (suntā hai) habitual confirm unmarked perception. All inflectional variants (person, number, gender, tense, prepositional prefix for temporal clauses) collapse here when the meaning is simply 'perceive by ear.' 921×

2. Qal: listen, heed, pay attention — Volitional attentive listening in Qal — the subject intentionally directs the ear toward a speaker or message. Arabic uses the imperative اسْمَعْ/اِسْمَعُوا (ismaʿ/ismaʿū) which in context demands directed attention, not mere perception. Korean distinguishes this with 들으라 (deureura) and the honorific 들으소서 (deureusoSEO) as respectful petitions for attention, contrasting with neutral 들었다 (deureotda) for perception. Swahili consistently uses -sikiliza (applicative derivation of -sikia, literally 'hear-for/toward') rather than base -sikia, marking directed intentional listening: sikiliza, sikilizeni, kusikiliza. Hindi uses सुनो (suno) imperative and सुनने वाला (sunne vālā) 'one who listens.' This sense covers imperatives calling for attention ('Hear, O Israel!'), participles describing habitual listeners, and contexts where obedient reception of a command is implied without full obedience semantics. 172×

3. Hifil: cause to hear, proclaim, announce — Causative voice in Hifil — making someone hear, declaring, proclaiming, sounding forth. Arabic uses the Form IV causative أَسْمَعَ (asmaʿa) 'to cause to hear' and the active participle مُسْمِع (musmiʿ) 'one who causes to hear / announcer,' as well as the semantic equivalent نَادَى (nādā) 'to proclaim' (الْمُنَادِي al-munādī 'the proclaimer'). Korean uses causative constructions 들리게 하다 (deulllige hada) 'to make heard' and 선포하다 (seonpo-hada) 'to proclaim.' Swahili uses the causative -sikizisha (wangewasikizisha) and semantic equivalents -tangaza 'to announce/proclaim' (aliyejulisha, ulitangaza, watangaze). Hindi uses सुनाना (sunānā) causative 'to cause to hear / narrate' — सुनाया (sunāyā), सुनाओ (sunāo). This covers Hifil perfective, imperfective, imperative, participle, and infinitive forms including 'let me hear' requests and 'cause us to hear' petitions. 28×

4. Niphal: be heard (passive) — Passive voice in Niphal — sound or voice is heard, perceived, or becomes audible without a specified agent. Arabic uses the passive سُمِعَ (sumiʿa) 'was heard' and يُسْمَعُ (yusmaʿu) 'will be heard,' clearly distinguished from active سَمِعَ. Korean uses 들리다 (deullida) passive/intransitive 'to be heard, to be audible' — 들렸다 (deullyeotda), 들릴 것이다 (deullil geosida) — morphologically distinct from active 듣다. Swahili uses the stative-passive -sikiwa/-sikika (kusikika 'to be audible,' itasikiwa 'it will be heard'), derived from -sikia with passive -w- or stative -k- extensions. Hindi uses the passive construction सुनी गई (sunī gaī) / सुनाई दी (sunāī dī) / सुना जाएगा (sunā jāegā). This covers all Niphal perfective, imperfective, participle, and infinitive forms expressing the state of being heard or audible. 23×

5. Qal: obey, submit, comply — Obedience and compliance in Qal — hearing that results in action conforming to the command. Spanish uniquely marks this with obedecer/obedecimos (distinct from oír 'hear' and escuchar 'listen'), providing the clearest lexical discriminator. Korean uses 순종하다 (sunjong-hada) 'to obey/submit' rather than 듣다 'to hear.' Swahili employs -tii 'to obey' (142222: watanitii) or -sikiliza with completive aspect implying compliance. Arabic remains سَمِعَ but often paired with وَأَطَاعَ (wa-aṭāʿa 'and obeyed') in the broader discourse. Hindi सुना/सुनी in these contexts implies compliance rather than mere audition. This sense is especially prominent in covenant contexts ('we have obeyed the voice of the LORD') and in Niphal forms with obedience semantics. 18×
