Khaliji Arabic: ابي
I'm actually familiar with the verb ابي and it's conjugation in the present (perfect) tense but I have no idea how this verb is conjugated in the past (imperfect) tense. Would anyone be able to provide me the full conjugation in the past?

Any help from Khaliji speakers would be greatly appreciated. شكراً جزيلاً و يعطيكم العافية

مرحبا
تقدر تقول*: بغيت، أو: كنت أبي، كنت أبغى
أبي Came from the word: أبغي "Classical Arabic". We omit the غ in the present tense (optional; you can say: أبي or أبغى) but in the past tense you should say: بغيت 
بغيت Also means: I almost, بغيت أغرق : I almost drowned !
*You can say..
