I'm here dear Rabab but where are you? Missing you so much!!!!!!!!
WAY -Where Are YOU?
^_^
O wow Anele, that's really great!!
Thank you so much!
Where is Rabab? Well, I think she's at her home. ^_*
Okay, thanks. I forgot whether correct spelling is arc or ark.
P.b.u.h. means "peace be upon him". He was a great prophet of God so we add p.b.u.h. to his name(and to all other prophets' names).
Thanks for explanation, dear Anele. Now it would a lot easier for me to memorize this word(in connection to great prophet Noah's (p.b.u.h.) flood and arc (or is it ark)!
Thank you gain.....^_^
@ Anele,
If deluge has something to do with waters only........how would you justify this example, then?
-FIGURATIVE We've been deluged with (= have received a lot of) replies.We have been deluged with your generosity dear nido ^_^
Am I using it correctly? ^_*
