is this a name? what does mean?

Tafeeda el Mofeeda

Tafeeda is a name of girl..., el-modeeda means the helpful/useful.., they say them together because they sound the same...Tafeeda El Mofeeda

[lanw_av]

Zahra2008, yeah this is a funny made-up name

"Tafeeda" is a female name, it is one of those names that r considered unattractive and a girl named that will not be proud of it, so this name is sometimes used jokingly to turn off guys, for example, if a girl wants to turn off a guy or make him go away from her she could tell him that her name is "Tafeeda" and anyway the guy would know she is joking (her name is not "Tafeeda"), i am not sure if there r still people called "Tafeeda" (as a real name) nowadays or maybe there were never any, and nowadays when this name is used it is used jokingly or for fun

"el mofeeda" means "the useful/helpful girl/woman"

so, "Tafeeda el mofeeda" is a funny nickname that works as a connotation of a helpful girl (who helps others and is useful to them) whose name is "Tafeeda" (an unattractive name), and no doubt the adjective "el mofeeda" was specifically used to rhyme with the name which is "Tafeeda"

lol, other examples could be "Maymoona el magnoona" ("Maymoona" is a funny fictional female name, "el magnoona" means "the crazy girl/woman") or "Fatakat entehazat" ("Fatakat" is a funny (probably fictional?) female name, "entehazat" is the plural of the noun "entehaz" which means "grabbing an opportunity" or "making the best use of something" and here, since it is used in plural, it refers to the habit of "grabbing opportunities" or "making the best use of things and people around her" so she may know new people not for the purpose of making new friends but for the purpose of not letting go any opportunities that may be useful to her or for the purpose of having things done to her)

so the whole purpose of giving someone such names is to give a certain impression of how that person is (helpful, crazy, etc) but in a funny manner, and the purpose of choosing such weird names (Tafeeda, Maymoona, Fatakat, etc) is to add more funniness and weirdness to the names so that they catch attention, and the purpose of the rhyme of course is to make the whole nickname in the end catchy and easy to remember

lol sorry for the long answer but i am sure now u got the whole thing

[Zahra2008]

Orwito shoukran

lanw_aw lol is not a long answer.. I appreciate it, really, I think I understand very well... w shoukran kteer

[Orwa]

You're ALWAYS welcome Ms. Zahrita Karlita , 3afwan

[Orwa]

Najlaaaaaa, i am not that expert in lebense dialect, but i'll try my best

we didn't spend much time together
ma 2adena wa2t kteer ma3 ba3d
------------
It looks like u don't like to do some things together or to go on a trip (I didn't understand what you mean here.., but that is the translation word by word)
mbayen enak enty ma bet7oub ta3moul ashya2 ma3 ba3dha aw tetla3 bel re7ly
-----------
i'll took the cd of melheim zean accidentally with me (I think you mean i took, without the "will")
ana a5adet el-CD taba3 Melheim Zean bel-soudfi ma3i
-----------
U need to reassure me every moment of the day(Lazim Etaman 3alayk)
You're a little bit right, but here it should be..
Lazem tetameny 3ank kel la7za bel-youm
-----------
some family members threated me different than before do u have an idea why?
shwayet nas bel-3aily ma 3amalony metl awal, 3andak fekrah lish??
-----------
is this correct enta erta7t menni mabsot le2ni falayt
I'd say, enta Merta7 menni W mabsout le2ani falayt

I hope above is 100% correct, we Syrian are a little similur to Lebenese, so i tried my best

Ms. Jihan, it does mean "take it in quiet way"

I hope you understand my meaning

[selenity]

Hey, my dear people! Missed you
Can you translate this:

eh ya Awamrinoo 7agar el 3enab bynadeeeeeeek

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

it means :" hey awamrino,, the stone of the grapes is calling you"...but this doesn't make any sense..

[lanw_av]

selenity, i am not 100% sure, but it sounds a lot like someone calling another to invite him for a "sheesha" session (if u do not know what "sheesha" is, here it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah)

there r coal-like stones that r put on "sheesha" to be smoked, one of those stones is called "7agar sheesha", "sheesha" has flavors like apple, etc

"Awamrinoo" seems to be the name of a guy

so, the literal translation of "eh ya Awamrinoo 7agar el 3enab bynadeeeeeeek" is "Awamrinoo, the grape stone is calling you.", meaning "Awamrinoo, where are you? Come here, because the grape-flavored stone is ready to be smoked."

in Arabic slang (not sure in all the dialects or not), when u say that "something is calling u" this means that "u r longing to do it", for example, if u want a shower so badly u can say "el dosh beynadeeni" (literal translation: "the shower is calling me")

[lanw_av]

Jihan, "بالهداوه" ("bil-hadawa") means "calmly", it refers to doing things in a relaxed and proper manner instead of being angry or shouting, for example, if someone has a problem and he/she is angry and nagging and shouting about it u can tell him/her "بالهداوه" to tell him/her to cool off and speak and think properly so that they can find a solution, or if someone is going to scold another severely u can tell him/her "بالهداوه" to tell him/her to speak normally (without being angry) to that person he/she is going to scold

yeah mostly "بالهداوه" is derived from the word "هدوء" meaning "quietness/calmness"

"بالهداوه" is an adverb, it is formed by adding "ب" to the noun "الهداوه", but using the word "الهداوه" alone as a noun is rarely to see, because it usually comes as an adverb "بالهداوه"

another adverb formed the same way is "بهدوء" (adding "ب" to the noun "هدوء") (pronounced "bhdoo2"), it means "quietly/silently", for example, if u r going into a room where someone is sleeping u should do things "بهدوء" in order not to disturb his/her sleep

[lanw_av]

LOVELYMIRABELA, here is the translation

* Life is short,violates the rules,forgive queckly,kiss slowly,love truly,laugh out of control,and don't regret anything from what you do.:
"El 7aya osayyara, 3ashan keda khalif koll el qawa3id, same7 bsor3a, khud wa2tak fe koll bosa, 7ebb bgadd, sakhsakh men el de7k, we ma tendamsh 3ala ayy 7aga te3melha."
الحياة قصيرة, عشان كدا خالف كل القواعد, سامح بسرعة, خد وقتك في كل بوسة, حب بجد, سخسخ من الضحك, وما تندمش على أي حاجة تعملها

note: i suppose u mean "VIOLATE the rules" and not "VIOLATES"

[LOVELYMIRABELA]

Maybe somebody can help me with the following translation again.

It's an aphorism or something: >>> The man is infinitely more complicated than his thoughts

I did it in the following way:

الرجل أكثر تعقيداً من أفكاره

Unfortunately I don't know how to translate "infinitely more complicated" properly, esp. "Infinitely"

Thanks in advance
