1 hr confidence:
and they repeatedly subject them to self-inflicted verbal abuse Explanation: يرددون: REPEATEDLY Or if you want to keep it simple, you can translate it into: and they repeatedly swore at themselves In military camp jargon, the phrase "يردّدون شتائم في حقّهم" can be expressed using the following equivalents: 1. "They subject them to self-inflicted verbal abuse." 2. "They enforce self-directed verbal degradation." 3. "They impose self-deprecating verbal rituals." 4. "They enforce self-cursing as a disciplinary measure." These translations maintain the idea of individuals being compelled to engage in self-directed verbal insults or curses as a form of punishment within the military camp, while incorporating military terminology and emphasizing the authoritative and disciplinary nature of the actions. I would appreciate if you could be generous with rewarding 4 points instead of 2 points😅 |
