My today’s idiomatic expression is very interesting. It illustrates the beauty of every language and shows how we think and how use specific words to form such compound to express ourselves. I will write it in English and translate it in the other languages. In the flesh: It is used to describe someone who is present physically, as opposed to someone who is seen or heard at a distance. The French expression "en chair et en os”. Note that in French the flesh and bone is used :) The Spanish expression “en carne y hueso”. Here flesh and bone is used as well. The Italian expression “in carne ed ossa”. Same here. The german expression “in Fleisch und Blut”, here the flesh and blood is used instead. The Arabic expression “بشحمه ولحمه” in his fat and his felsh which is different as well. I hope you like them and let me know if you want to add more. Check my previous postes and share your thoughts with me.

Something I find fascinating when learning new languages is how interesting and appealing idiomatic expressions in every culture, society or wherever. For example, I like to know what others say/think when expressing something to illustrate any situation. I am sharing an example below at the same time, I am keeping it for records, for you to comment, share or critique. To say narrowly escape or barely in three languages I am studying; Italian, Spanish and French is: 1- French: De justesse = sur le fil 2- Italian : Appena / Per poco/ “interestingly” PER UN PELO 3- Spanish: por poco- por los pelos “which is very similar to Italian” I know that there are tremendous examples, and different expressions more interesting than this. I will try to keep records and pointing them out every time I capture them.

Hoy elijo una palabra con la que quiero practicar: La palabra de hoy es “Listón” Esta palabra tiene varios significados. Sin embargo, concentro con solo dos. 1- Primero: una barra de madera 🪵. Una tira de madera. Ejemplo: las fábricas consuman muchos listones para producir marcos. 2- Segundo: se usa como una expresión cuando referimos al nivel de dificultad. Ejemplo: Él puso el listón muy alto para los nuevos estudiantes. Es decir él obtuvo notas muy altas y sin precedente en comparación con los demás. Otro ejemplo: Tengo el listón muy alto a la hora de elegir mi novia 👰🏻‍♀️. English: My standards are high when choosing my fiancée.

Hi everyone, I need help in Deutsch please. I have this sentence and I don’t recall why there is a “N” in the “Kindern”, see example below: Haben Sie den KinderN geholfen? Appreciate your help :)

Hi everyone. A question for Deutsch German speakers. The word “Richtig” is written “Richtige” in the following sentence. 1- Das ist die richtige Rechnung. However, if we use it with the “Ich denke…” phrase, I noticed it’s written “Richtig” without an “E”. Like.. 2- Ich denke, dass die Rechnung nicht richtig ist. Can someone explain to me please why “Richtig” is not following the fem. Noun “Die Rechnung”? Thanks in advance.

It’s the very first day of the holy month of Ramadan. It’s not like any other day. Today we Muslims, not just in my country, from all over the world, from west to east and from north to south, starting fasting. Starting refraining ourselves from eating and drinking during the day. It varies from a country to another country but I would say as an average 12 to 13 hours a day for 30 days. It’s the fourth pillar of Islam. We submit to Allah by fasting and remembering that there are hungry people all over who suffer from scarcity of resources or due to any other reasons. It’s a blessing month where charity is at its most specially the last 10 days of Ramadan. We are joined by non muslims as well who discovered the beauty of fasting. So, it’s not just for specific people. There are many published researches and book talked about the benefits of fasting. We have been doing this since 1443 years :) Wish everyone blessing Ramadan 🌙

مبارك عليكم شهر رمضان المبارك Ramadan Mubarak to all my friends. Feliz Ramadán Y que Allah os bendiga y ayude.
