B1 Expression 中性

كم مرة؟

kam marrah?

How many times?

意思

Asking about the frequency of an action or event.

🌍

文化背景

Repetition in speech is a common rhetorical device. Asking 'Kam marrah' can be a way to emphasize the importance of a task. In Egypt, 'Kam marrah' is often used in songs to express longing or the pain of repeated heartbreak. People might use 'Adaysh' instead of 'Kam', but 'Kam marrah' remains the standard for formal or clear communication. The number of repetitions in prayer (Dhikr) is very specific, making 'Kam marrah' a vital question for practitioners.

💡

The Singular Rule

Always keep 'marrah' singular after 'kam'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers.

⚠️

Tone Matters

Be careful with your intonation. A rising pitch is a question; a falling, heavy pitch can sound like a scolding.

Dialect Shortcut

If you forget 'Kam', in many places you can just say 'Adaysh' and people will understand you're asking 'how much/often'.

💬

Polite Refusal

If someone asks 'Kam marrah' about something you haven't done, a polite 'Wala marrah' (Not even once) is a great response.
