    Yeah, it means "the opposite is true". Example1 "People enjoy giving gifts, and it also works the other way. People enjoy receiving them, too." Example2 "I help my brother a lot but it also works the other way for us. He helps me as well." Sorry, I don't speak any Mandarin. Hopefully my answer makes sense?

    The grammar in this is poor. The sentence you are talking about isn't even written as a complete thought. It's incorrect. The author means "such as", not "and so, with". This is what the author means to say: "He must, for example, perceive an egg as a simple single solid shape, quite apart from its significance as food, or from the literary idea that it will become a bird. With solids such as a shell, a nut, a plum, a pear, a tadpole, a mushroom, a mountain peak, a kidney, a carrot, a tree-trunk, a bird, a bud, a lark, a ladybird, a bulrush, a bone, he can go on to appreciate more complex forms or combinations of several forms." Is this more clear? This is a strange passage. As a native English speaker with a university degree, it's difficult for me to understand. If you can't fully understand it, don't feel bad.

    these seem like high level terms. were you reading news in arabic? صحفي= journalist أمين الصندوق= literally: securer of the box meaning: cashier : ) قابض فواتير= this one is too difficult for me. qubdh means arrest, but fawatir is plural of something strange. do you have the original sentence or paragraph it came from?

    Arabic like this is difficult because the dialects use lots of idioms which make it hard to understand. (ie 'keep me sitting on their hearts' means nothing to a westerner lol)

    Korean: Using 입니다 practice I have learned three sentence types in Korean. The first type is when we say something "is" but using the verb as description. In English it's like when we say "Joe is the vice president.", "Merlin is a wizard", etc. Apparently this is accomplished politely in Korean by using 입니다. The resources I'm using don't teach me casual verbs for anything, so if anyone could help me know how to say these causally among friends, that would be good. Here are some sentences I came up with using "to be" as a descriptor. I appreciate your corrections: A. 1. 이굿이 무엇입니까? What is this? 그굿이 비행기입니다. That's an airplane. 2. 그굿이 무엇입니까? What is that? 그굿이 책성입니다. That's a desk. 3. 저굿이 무엇입니까? What's that? (Far away) 저굿이 집입니다. That over there is a house. B. 1. 삼이 사람입니다. Sam is a man/person. 2. 탐이 선생님입니다. Tom is a teacher. 3. "Daphne"가 개입니다. "Daphne" is a dog. 4. 아빠가 소방관입니다. Dad is a firefighter. 5. 김치가 음식입니다. Kimchi is [a] food. I hope I am using this verb correctly.

    the equivalent i know of boyfriend in shami 3amiyeh is probably صاحب الشاب اللي بتحبي ولا بتظني انه حلو ولا هو معك بشكل رومانسية الفرق بين صاحب و زوج بس الحقيقة انه الزوج متزوج بس الصاحب لا. بظن ما في فكرة مثل بوي ولا جيرل فريند بالثقافة العربي قوى عشان ثقافتني بالغرب بتركزي ع الرومانسية بين الرجال و المراة و الحالة المتزوجة مش اكتر مهمة منها بس ممكن مش صحيح : )
