Fuad, corruption ���� Meaning bribes and favouritism taken or performed by a government official in return for a private gain.
Non-ProZ.com Oct 27, 2001:
another version instead of the Arabic sentence I was going to use I am thinking of using the following:
������ �� ������� �� ������ ������ ��� ��������� ������ �������
Would this sentence sound/read better than the one before?
Non-ProZ.com Oct 27, 2001:
some typos again!! Sorry, just noticed that I have made some typos. Sorry about that. I seem to be doing this more and more now. I should really try to slow down a bit. The heading should read:
which preposition do I use following ����
Thanks for understanding.

تَقصير أو تَواني المتَكَلِّمين بالعَرَبيّة في التَبليغ عن

1. Failure to:

يُقالُ: "قَصَرَ المرءُ عن الشيء قُصُوراً" إذا تَركَه مع العَجز

ويُقالُ: "قَصَّرَ المرءُ في الأَمر تَقصيراً" إذا تَوانى فيه

كَما يُقالُ: "قَصَّرَ المرءُ عن الأَمر تَقصيراً" إذا أمسَكَ عنه مع القُدرة عليه

ويُقالُ أيضاً: "قَصَّرَ المرءُ عن الشيء تَقصيراً" إذا تَرَكَه وهو لا يَقدرُ عليه

وكذلك يُقالُ: "تَقاصَرَ عن المرءُ عن الأَمر" إذا أمسَكَ عنه مع القُدرة عليه

هذا ما جاء به مُعجَمُ "المنجد"، ولَعَلَّ في بَعض هذه المعطَيات لُبساً وحَيرة، لكنِّي أَجدُ "قَصَّر المرءُ في الأَمر تَقصيراً" أَقرَبَ إلى المعنى الذي تَقصُدين إليه

2. Arabic speakers or speakers of Arabic: I recommend المتَكَلِّمين بالعَرَبيّة

The verb TAKALLAMA and the noun KALAM are closer to the sense of “speech” as a basic function. HADDATHA, TAHADDATHA, and HADEETH strike me as expressive of a specific social exercise or application of the basic function of speech. It is closer to “talking,” "telling," "informing," and "reporting" than to “speaking.”

3. واقعات الفساد

I am not sure what that is.

4. Alternative:

تَواني المتَكَلِّمين باللغة العَرَبيّة عن التَبليغ...
