Translation:the Mediterranean Sea

July 8, 2019

What does اَلْمُتَوَسِّط mean literally?

middle/intermediate

What's the literal translation?

By the sound of it, its "the middle white sea"

I keep hearing it as "al-2abiiaB". Should it not be "al-2abiiaDH"??

Me too.

I don't, or maybe it was already corrected.

what about the colour white that is in the question?

I have found out: The Mediterranean Sea is called "the middle white sea" in Arabic because of its white foam.

My answer "the Mediterranee" was refused. Maybe this name does not exist in english ???? Is it a shorter name fore the Mediterranean sea in arabic?

we also call it The Med for short, in the UK at least!

Is color white associated with West in Arabic, as in Turkish?
