Farming or Country road Explanation: Please refer to my previous answer to the Desert road question: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/160894 The road is called Al-Tariq Al-Zira'i. The word zira'i is an adjective derived from the verb zara'a زرع (to plant), from which the two words in question are derived: zira'ah زراعة Agriculture, Farming. Mazra'ah مزرعة Farm. This highway passes through many farming towns and villages. It also passes through many farms. So both renditions are correct, although I prefer Highway to Road. Alaa Zeineldine -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-09 00:07:00 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Forgot to mention once again that it is a highway linking Cairo and Alexandria, obviously in Egypt. |

As follows: Explanation: All of these three terms refer to the same highway connecting Cairo and Alexandria. It runs through the Delta governorates, which are located between the two branches of the Nile (Rosetta and Damietta). Since agriculture and farming are the main activities of these governorates, this highway may be called Farming Road or Agriculture Road. The correct nomenclature for this highway is either Delta Highway or Country Highway. |
