Significado
To take a period of relaxation or sleep.
Contexto cultural
The 'Qaylulah' is a traditional midday nap, often taken after the Dhuhr prayer. It is considered a way to 'obtain a portion of rest' to sustain energy for evening social activities. In social visits, a host might say 'Irtah' (Rest) repeatedly to a guest, but using the formal phrase 'Yahsal ala qist...' is common when discussing someone's health or work stress in a serious way. Due to the extreme heat, the workday often splits. The period between 2 PM and 4 PM is the designated time for everyone to 'obtain their portion of rest' at home. Egyptians might use 'Yirayyah' (to rest) more casually, but in the media and Egyptian cinema, doctors always use the formal phrase to sound authoritative.
