إخوتي الأعزاء أقدم لكم اليوم موضوع جديد كثير الأهمية و فيه الكثير من الفائدة.
الموضوع هو عبارة عن Idioms مع معانيها و أمثلة عليها.
هذا الموضوع هام جدا لمحبي تعلم اللغة الانجليزية و خاصة الراغبين في التقدم لإمتحان التوفيل.
يا رب الموضوع يعجبكم و يكون في إفادة لكم.
طبعا أنا لن أستطيع وضع كل idioms
و لكن الموضوع سيتجدد خلينا نقول كل أسبوع تقريبا.
first of all: What is an idiom
It is a speech form or an expression of a given language that is peculiar to itself grammatically or cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements
هي نوع من التعابير الخاصة بلغة معينة و التي يصعب تفسيرها من خلال تفسير معنى كل كلمة في الجملة بشكل فردي.
أي انك لو حاولت أن تترجم كل كلمة موجودة في التعبير على حدى للوصول إلى معنى التعبير فلن تستطيع ذلك لأن المعنى سيكون بعيد تماما عما هو مقصود.
و لمزيد من التوضيح أنظر إلى الشرح.
