文化的背景
In the Levant, 'Amama' is almost exclusively for formal writing. In the street, you'll hear 'Quddam'. If you use 'Amama' in a cafe, people will think you are a news anchor! In the Gulf, spatial orientation is very important in traditional seating (Majlis). The area 'Amama' the host is the place of honor. Egyptians often use 'Quddam' but might also use 'Fi wish' (In the face of) for something directly opposite. In North Africa, 'Amam' is used, but 'Quddam' is also very common. There is a strong influence of French 'devant', but the Arabic structure remains.
