المعنى
Indicating that something is located on the left side from your perspective.
خلفية ثقافية
Directions are often given in terms of 'blocks' or 'left/right' relative to the person's current path. Directions can be very detailed, often including landmarks like pubs or specific shops. Directions are often based on landmarks rather than compass directions or left/right, as street names are rare. Hospitality is key. Directions are often accompanied by an offer of help or tea.
Be specific
If you are giving directions, always include a landmark if possible.
Politeness
Using 'You'll find' sounds much more helpful than just saying 'It is on the left'.
