Kultureller Hintergrund
In Lebanese professional circles, 'في صدد' is frequently used in legal and diplomatic correspondence to maintain a high level of 'Prestige Arabic.' Egyptian media (like Al-Ahram) heavily utilizes this phrase in political editorials to sound authoritative and state-aligned. With the rise of 'Vision 2030' and similar plans, this phrase is ubiquitous in corporate and government strategy documents. While French is often used in business, when writing in Arabic, 'في صدد' is the go-to phrase to match the formality of French 'en cours de'.
