فقاعات
The English phrase bubbles is translated into Arabic as فقاعات.
Did you know?
- The root of فقاعات is linked to the verb فقق, which means to pop or burst. This means the Arabic word for 'bubbles' focuses more on the action of popping than on the shape of the bubble itself.
- While English uses 'bubbles' for both soap and soda, Arabic speakers may distinguish between 'foam' (رغوة) and 'bubbles' (فقاعات) depending on the density of the substance.
- In Classical Arabic literature, the image of a bubble فقاعة is often used as a symbol for the fragility and brevity of human life.
Examples in context
- ظهرت الفقاعات بشكل جميل فوق سطح النافورة.The bubbles appeared beautifully above the surface of the fountain.
- الفقاقيع مسلية للأطفال.Bubbles entertain kids.
- هناك فقاعات كثيرة في الصابون.hunaka fuqa'at kathira fi al-sabun.There are many bubbles in the soap.
- شاهد الأطفال فقاعات الصابون.shahada al-atfal fuqa'at al-sabun.The children watched the soap bubbles.
- تخرج فقاعات من الماء المغلي.takhruju fuqa'at min al-ma' al-maghli.Bubbles are coming out of the boiling water.
