زمینه فرهنگی
Hospitality (Karam) dictates that a guest should never have to ask for something. Hosts place water, tissues, and snacks 'within reach' as a sign of respect. In Egyptian markets, you'll hear 'على قد الإيد' (on the size of the hand) as a slang equivalent to 'في متناول اليد' to mean something is cheap or affordable. The phrase is used frequently in social justice contexts, especially regarding the accessibility of education and medicine during economic crises. Arabic tech startups use this phrase in their slogans to emphasize that their apps make life easier and services more accessible.
Use it for 'Affordable'
If you want to sound like a native speaker when shopping, use this instead of 'rخيص' (cheap). It sounds much more sophisticated.
Singular Hand Only
Never say 'اليدين' (two hands). The idiom is fixed in the singular.
