معنی
To deliver a formal address or a short talk to an audience.
زمینه فرهنگی
Eloquence (Fasaha) is a source of pride. A person who can 'present a word' well is often seen as a natural leader. In the Majlis, the eldest or most senior person is usually the one to 'present a word' first as a sign of respect. At weddings, the 'Zaffa' is often followed by a short 'Kalima' from the fathers of the bride and groom. In Egyptian media, 'يقدم كلمة' is used constantly for presidential addresses, emphasizing the state's formality.
Keep it Singular
Even if the speech is 10 minutes long, always use the singular 'Kalima'. Using the plural 'Kalimat' sounds like you are literally saying individual words.
Preposition Alert
Avoid using 'ila' (to) for the audience. Use 'amama' (in front of) to sound more like a native speaker.
