The action of viewing programs on a television set.
Contexto cultural
Ramadan is the 'Super Bowl' of Arabic TV. Entire families stay up late to watch high-budget series called 'Musalsalat'. TV is often kept on in the background of the 'Majlis' (reception room) as a source of news and a conversation starter. Historical dramas (like Bab Al-Hara) are extremely popular and often watched collectively in cafes. Satellite TV (like Al Jazeera or MBC) played a huge role in connecting the Maghreb with the Mashriq linguistically.
Master the 'Shā'
Make sure to stretch the 'ā' in 'yushāhid'. If you make it short, it sounds like a different word.
Don't forget 'Al-'
Saying 'yushāhid tilfāz' sounds like you are watching 'a' television (the object), not 'the' TV (the activity).
