Tunisian Arabic
Here we go again, the Tunisian campaign to eviscerate MSA (Modern Standard Arabic) continues unabated, at least in this text... Y a pas de repit... So here is another puzzling term that "la Tunisie" seems to have hatched:
الضريبة البترولية المدفوعة خلال السداسي الثاني من سنة 2014
I assume this could mean a quarter or a trimester, but why say سداسي which in classical Arabic or MSA usually refers to "six"....
الضريبة البترولية المدفوعة خلال السداسي الثاني من سنة 2014
I assume this could mean a quarter or a trimester, but why say سداسي which in classical Arabic or MSA usually refers to "six"....
