Inside the Quran

يَعْلَمُونَ (yalamun) means they know. It describes knowledge or understanding, and sometimes exposes the gap between knowing and acting.

Read it inside the complete ayat below. The surrounding words decide the most natural English rendering, so the translation may use more than one English phrase for the same Arabic form.

See it in real ayat
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.

كَلَّآ ۖ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّمَّا يَعْلَمُونَ

No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know.
