Don't be unfair, man! / Don't be cruel, man! Explanation: Don't be unfair, man! / Don't be cruel, man! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2021-06-13 04:46:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It is "اتّق" not "إتّق". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2021-06-13 06:28:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "اتق الله" تعني "اتق الله فيني" وتستخدم في العامية المصرية بمعنى (إياك وأن تظلمني، إياك وأن تتهمني، دعك منّي) ردا على عبارة "هل طمعت عيناك في إحدى الهوائم؟ (النساء)" Don't be unfair with me / Don't be cruel with me "يا شيخ" تعني "يا هذا / يا رجل" وتفيد الاستنكار أو التعجب أو الشجب بالعامية المصرية. ولا علاقة للأمر بكلمة "Sheikh". |
