B1 Expression ニュートラル

مرتين

marratayn

Twice

意味

Indicating that an action happened two times.

🌍

文化的背景

The proverb 'A believer is not stung from the same hole twice' is widely used to praise wisdom and caution. In Lebanon and Syria, 'martayn' is often used as a polite way to decline a third helping of food, implying the first two were plenty. Egyptians might use 'marrateen' with a specific hand gesture (two fingers) to emphasize they are not joking about a repetition. Many ritualistic phrases (like 'Allahu Akbar' at certain points) are repeated twice, making the concept of 'marratayn' spiritually resonant.

🎯

Master the Dual

Learning 'marratayn' is your gateway to the dual system. Apply the same '-ayn' logic to 'yom' (day) to get 'yomayn' (two days).

⚠️

Avoid 'Ithnayn'

Never say 'ithnayn marra.' It marks you as a beginner immediately.

The 'Twice' Rule
