Le savais-tu ?
The word 'نقد' (naqd) can also mean 'criticism' in modern Arabic, stemming from the idea of examining and evaluating something closely, similar to how one would inspect coins.

Grammaire à connaître
Adverbs of manner in Arabic, like 'نقداً', often describe how an action is performed. They typically come after the verb or the object.
دفعتُ الفاتورة نقداً. (I paid the bill in cash.)
'نقداً' is an adverb that indicates the form of payment. It does not change its form based on gender or number.
هل يمكنني الدفع نقداً؟ (Can I pay in cash?)
When 'نقداً' is used with verbs like 'دفع' (to pay), it specifies the method of payment.
أفضل الدفع نقداً. (I prefer to pay in cash.)
It can be used in questions to inquire about payment methods.
هل تقبلون الدفع نقداً؟ (Do you accept cash payment?)
'نقداً' is distinct from 'بالبطاقة' (by card) or 'بالتحويل المصرفي' (by bank transfer), which are other common payment adverbs.
لا أملك بطاقة، سأدفع نقداً. (I don't have a card, I'll pay in cash.)
Origine du mot
From the root ن-ق-د (n-q-d), related to inspecting, scrutinizing, and also to coinage and cash.
Sens originel : The root originally referred to touching, striking, or testing something (like coins to check their authenticity). This evolved to mean cash or ready money.
Semitic, Afro-AsiaticContexte culturel
Paying 'نقداً' (in cash) is still very common in many Arab countries, especially for everyday transactions in local markets (souqs), small shops, and street vendors. While digital payments are gaining traction, cash remains a preferred and often expected method of payment, particularly outside of major urban centers or for smaller purchases. It's always a good idea to have some cash on hand when traveling in the region.
