Finite Benefit Explanation: Finite here would mean bounded, confined or restricted. The opposite which is نفع متعدي would be infinite benefit. I guess it sounds good. It could be explained in the context as "a finite benefit confined to oneself while an infinite benefit stretches out to encompass others". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2011-04-19 06:55:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or confined to the doer Example sentence(s):
