One of the words in my Arabic class today, was حرية - freedom. My professor laughed, and tried to explain the word:
-"Horreya"! Freedom! We tried one year ago, but alas, nothing. Suppression, suppression!
And then she laughed some more, shaking her head, and continuing the class. Outbursts like these tend to pop into conversations every now and then, and I never quite know how to react - do you laugh or do you shake your head and say "better luck next time"?
