peer agreement (net): +2| المهنة: متسبب freelance, self-employed or independent worker Explanation: This is a very common word in the Syrian region. It refers to someone who doesn't have a regular steady job and who earns his living by selling services to different employers without a long-term contract with any of them. A very common, though colloquial, phrase is "رايح اتسبب" which means "I'm going to look for a job to earn today's bread with". By the way, the notion of "التسبب" comes from the Islamic term "الأخذ بالأسباب". و الله أعلم |
