ta3li9 تعليق
Tunisian Derja · noun
“ta3li9” (تعليق) is a noun in Tunisian Derja meaning comment.
Meanings
- comment
- suspension, temporary halt
- hanging
Usage
Ta3li9 mainly means a comment, notably under a social media post: 7ot ta3li9 (leave a comment). It also refers to the commentary on a match or an event. In the media and in administration, the word means suspension: ta3li9 eddourous (the suspension of classes). The plural is ta3li9at. The corresponding verb, 3alla9, means to comment but also to hang or suspend, hence the two senses of the noun. In speech, the French word "commentaire" or "comment" is also often used.
Example
قريت التعليقات الكل على البوست.
9rit etta3li9at el kol 3al post.
“I read all the comments on the post.”
