What I love so much is that you can't keep the Moroccans down. Here they are homeless but they are STILL sharing their hospitality with me. Offers of tea and chicken tagine. 🇲🇦🤲🏻🙏🏻

An interesting example of how #culture affects #language. In this context, it's the climate. #Arabic is mainly spoken in countries with hot and dry weather. #English is mostly spoken in countries with cold weather. 1/3

So receiving good news is similar to cooling off one's heart in Arabic #rhetoric. In English, receiving good news is similar to warming one's heart in a cold weather. 2/3
