Hi Boris,

The word قدران is the اسم الفعل (active participle) for the verb قدر. It’s more commonly used by Syrians and less so by Jordanians/Palestinians.

For example, Syrians also say عرفان

Other similar words include عطشان ,جوعان ,قرفان.

Hope this makes sense!

I get that this is a form of قدر but which form exactly is that? I have never seen verb forms ending with ان
