意味
Referring to a past occasion or occurrence.
文化的背景
People often add 'يا' (ya) for emphasis: 'يا المرة الماضية شو صار!' (Oh, what happened last time!). It adds a layer of emotional storytelling. The word 'Marra' is used very frequently as a filler. 'المرة اللي فاتت' is the standard, and 'فاتت' (passed) is used more than 'ماضية'. In the Gulf, 'المرة اللي طافت' is common. 'Tafat' implies something that bypassed or went over, often used in a relaxed, conversational pace. The use of 'Dik' (that) is common: 'Dik el-marra'. It points specifically to the past instance with more distance.
The 'Al-' Rule
Always remember: if you see 'Al-' on the first word, you MUST put it on the second. It's the golden rule of Arabic adjectives.
Avoid 'Last'
Don't translate 'Last' literally as 'Akhir' every time. 'Madiya' is much safer for 'previous'.

よくある質問
10 問No, for 'last year' use 'السنة الماضية'. 'Marra' is for occasions, not time units.
It is neutral and appropriate for both formal writing and polite conversation.
Because 'Marra' is a feminine noun, and adjectives must match the gender of the noun.
