peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1Before noon Explanation: "قُبيل الضُحى" means "before noon". Therefore, the sentence would translate to: "Soon, before noon, I prepare the teapot." The phrase "منتصف النهار" means "midday" or "noon", while "قُبيل الضُحى" means "before noon". Although they are related to the same time frame, they are not the same thing. As for why both phrases are used in the sentence, it is likely for emphasis or to provide more detail about the specific time the speaker is referring to. The speaker may want to convey that they are preparing tea specifically in the time leading up to noon, rather than just any time during the day. |
