Signification
To state what one thinks or feels about a particular topic or issue.
Contexte culturel
In Levantine culture, expressing an opinion is often preceded by 'Ma tikhizni' (Don't be angry with me) if the opinion is critical, showing a high value on social harmony. The concept of 'Majlis' is a traditional space where men express their opinions to leaders or elders. It is a formal but accessible democratic forum. Egyptians often use humor or 'Nukta' (jokes) to express political or social opinions indirectly, though 'Abbara 'an ra'yihi' remains the standard for serious talk. Due to the influence of French, the concept of 'Expression' is very strong in the education system, and youth are very active in 'expressing opinions' through art and rap.
