tasarruf


Explanation:
In this context disposal is best translated as 'tasarruf' where both a's are short. So the sentence translates as : 'Nahnu tahta tasarrufika fi Cesme'.

في خدمتكم


Explanation:
كلمة "تحت تصرفكم" فيها شيء من العبودية فعلى سبيل المثال إذا كنت تعمل في أحد الفنادق واستخدمت هذه العبارة فإن هذا لا يعني أنك ستفعل أي شيء تأمر به. لذا أفضل كلمة "في خدمتكم" كما أنها كلمة سهلة وخفيفة على اللسان.
