Word of the Day




Word of the Day موضوع تجدونه في معظم القواميس على الانترنت حيث يعرض الموقع فيه كل يوم كلمة جديدة على زوار موقع القواميس و يقوم باعطاء امثلة عن استعمال هذه الكلمة. لقد اعجبتني هذه الفكرة كثيرا و لكن ما لم يعجبني بالكلمات التي تعرضها هذه المواقع بأن معظمها صعب و قد يكون استعمالها قليل جدا. لهذا رأيت ان اقوم بالبدء بموضوع جديد و لكن باختيار كلمات جديدة و لكن استعمالها اكثر.



يا ريت اللي يلاقي اي خطأ في الموجود في الموضوع يبلغني عنه لأن ممكن يكون حصل الخطأ سهوا و عن غير انتباه و شكرا



اتمنى ان اجد بعض التشجيع من مشاهدي هذا الموضوع من خلال الردود
