معنی
To take advantage of a favorable moment or circumstance when it arises.
زمینه فرهنگی
In the Gulf, business is often about relationships and timing. Using 'intahaza al-fursa' in a meeting shows you are sharp and ready for partnership. While 'intahaza' is used, you might also hear 'lahi' حاله' (he caught himself/the moment) in casual speech. Egyptians often use 'istaghal' (exploit) very neutrally for opportunities, but 'intahaza' remains the choice for media and formal speeches. In North Africa, due to French influence, the concept of 'saisir l'occasion' is very strong, making 'intahaza al-fursa' a very natural translation for bilingual speakers.
