معنی
Permission to proceed with something.
زمینه فرهنگی
Green is the most beloved color in Arab culture, symbolizing life and faith. Getting a 'green light' feels like a positive omen. In Egypt, people might use 'الضوء الأخضر' in bureaucratic contexts, which are notoriously slow. Getting it is a major relief. In the Gulf, business is often about personal relationships. The 'green light' often comes after a long social meeting or 'Majlis'. Speakers here often mix Arabic with French or English. You might hear 'Feu vert' or 'Okay' alongside 'الضوء الأخضر'.
Gender Agreement
Always keep 'Akhdar' masculine because 'Daw' is masculine. Never say 'Daw Khadra'.
Don't over-use
In very formal legal documents, use 'ترخيص' (License) or 'إذن' (Permission) instead.
