I know the literal meanings ( I want/desire you vs. I love you) but I also know that the implied meaning for both is "I love you" So when do you use them? Like mother to child, husband to wife, lovers, friends, family, etc?

I am particulary interested in learning Arabic in Syria. Thats absolutely my dream! What is the most economic and the easiest way of living abroad without speaking their language? What strategy do I need to follow (like how should I find and apply a job) to survive there while living?

I want to learn Hindi, but the language does not come easy to me even though I am living in New Dehli, India. I know many words, but I have trouble distinguishing individual words in conversation and speaking the language is difficult. How can I best learn Hindi?

In Aramaic/Ancient Hebrew, "el" means "god" and "Elohim" means "the gods" or "the Supreme God".

Can't this be interpreted as part of the evidence suggesting that Judaic tribes were once polytheistic?

Likewise, in Arabic, "illah" means "god" and "Allah" means "the God".

Why, then, do so many Christian apologists try to smear Islam by claiming that "Allah" was a moon god on the basis that the word "illah" was once associated with pagan gods when the same can be said of "Elohim"?

My parents say to "keep things on the QT", my students say to "keep them on the DL". I know that DL stands for "Down Low". What does QT stand for and when did this fundamental shift in language take place?
