foreigners, strangers Explanation: Basically this is what it means in Arabic: Sources: * Hans Wehr (4th ed) - The foreigners - The strangers * Hava, J.G. - Strangers - People apart from their abode and tribe Now, you need to figure out what the translation is by merging the negative connotation of the context with the basic Arabic meaning. Notes: - Negative connotation doesn't necessarily mean harsh words. - The meaning might be something like saying, "they are a cult" in English. A group of individuals who abandoned their people, nation, principles, ethics, heritage, etc. People who don't belong to this/that place. People who have no ties "to this/that place" / "with us". People who left us, i.e. the group. - Evil eyes doesn't fit here. شُذّاذ الناس تعني المتفرّقون من الناس :ملاحظات لعل الاستخدام الحديث، لذا وجب النظر في السياق -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day5 hrs (2014-04-06 13:07:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- تصويب: شُذّاذ الناس: المتفرّقون من الناس :ملاحظات لعل الاستخدام يختلف حسب السياق، لذا ينبغي النظر فيه ومعرفة المُراد به |

peer agreement (net): +1Drifters, vagabonds Explanation: I think either of these words capture the "outsiderness" or "not of our kindness" as well as the "evil eye" or "probably out to do harm" notions that you're describing and the general descriptions suggest. Hope that helps. |
