ILLI in Fifty Idioms

Illustrator: Elfarouk, Noha

Beschreibung

"The idioms have been collected to showcase the use of the Egyptian word illi, in itself a fascinating linguistic anomaly as the only relative pronoun that exists in this dialect. Organized around their day-to-day linguistic function, each expression includes the original Arabic, a translation, an English equivalent or explanation, as well as whimsical illustrations. This book is covers a wide array of meanings and contexts-packed full of expressions that will console, threaten, encourage, and much more-and is sure to entertain and inform."--
