hmm I am not sure how to put the pronounciation in writing but it means "simply" "in the short and simple way" kind of thing.

For example, You had a long meeting with your manager at work. You leave his office and your friend asks you:

A: What did your manager say to you?

B: Basically, he said I should work harder.

Here, you do not want to tell her the details. You want to simply say the main idea of the meeting.

: ) I hope this helps. This was the first example I could come up with. 

It means to keep your ability/ skill/ knowledge etc at the highest, at its best

If you have a mother alive, noone can replace her! a fact. But If the kid in mention lost his mother when he was 5, luckily a kind woman with the nature and care of a mother can replace and be a mother to him and make him happy.

That is as long as she loves him just like her own child. Maybe, for kids it is difficult to love someone else like their mother but I beleive women have the ability to love others' children like their own. Most women are full of love to share : )

So fast (cry cry) :((

Shukran jazeelan! Short and sweet conversatio :) Looking forward to the audio!

One question though! Is this dialect or standard arabic?

And what فيه mean? and القطع ? clothing? is it same as al malabes?

Like ALberto said time difference is a little problematic but still I have few people that I practise with regularly : ) And I have two friends that I speak to everyday : ) and I am most thankful to them because in verly little time (a month maybe) I have learnt a lot and I am no more a total beginner yippiii!!

I think this is a wrong comparison, I personally can't compare these two because they are two different kinds of love. I can't choose one over another with no reason. And if there are some events that occured between these individuals and me, I wouldn't think hmm this is friend and this is boyfriend, what to do? Instead, I would try to see who is in the wrong.

I agree with Luer, boyfriend/ girlfriend is a friend besides being lover. 

Pushpendra you're interesting to simply think gf and bf are not to be trusted and not needed if you have good friends hmm 

You just can't control this when you're in Love. It just comes out itself. Before eyou know it, you already say I love you : ) Nice thing to say and hear aaaall the time :) Saying it often is a healer ! Not necessarily to your lover, say it to your friend, parents, to your cat and flowers. My grandma said if you say this to your flower it understands you and grow better o_O I wonder if it works if I say it to my green little friend s in my wallet ehehhehe : ) I love you  money, You're so beautiful :P:P:P
