🌍

Contexto cultural

In corporate environments in cities like Riyadh, Dubai, and Doha, using 'يحرز تقدماً' in emails is a sign of high linguistic competence and professionalism. While 'يحرز تقدماً' is understood, Levantines often use the verb 'عم يتقدم' (is advancing) or 'عم يتحسن' (is improving) in daily conversation to sound less 'robotic'. Arab culture places a very high value on education. 'Taqaddum' is not just a grade; it is seen as a moral and social duty to better oneself. Arabic news (like Al Jazeera or Al Arabiya) uses this phrase constantly to describe 'incremental change' in conflicts, often as a way to remain neutral.

💡

Use Adjectives

Always pair this with an adjective like 'kabir' (big) or 'sari' (fast) to sound more like a native speaker.

⚠️

Avoid 'Make'

Never use the verb 'ya'mal' (to make) with progress. It's a dead giveaway that you are translating from English.
