意味
Referring to multiple, but not necessarily many, instances.
文化的背景
In the Levant, 'Idda Marrat' is often replaced by 'Kaza Marra' (كذا مرة) in casual speech. However, using 'Idda Marrat' makes you sound educated and polite. Egyptians might use 'Kam Marra' (كم مرة) even in statements to mean 'several times,' or 'Yama' (ياما) for 'many times.' 'Idda Marrat' remains the standard for news and formal writing. In the Gulf, 'Idda Marrat' is very common in both business and social settings. It reflects the formal yet hospitable nature of Gulf Arabic. In the Maghreb, you might hear 'Bezzaf d-l-marrat' for 'many times,' but 'Idda Marrat' is used in Modern Standard Arabic contexts like school or government.
