مرة


Explanation:
واضح ان الجملة هنا هي جملة باللغة العامية المحكية، لا العربية الفصحى.
ومن هذا المنطلق، فمعنى كلمة "نقلة" هي "مرة" ، فالجملة "رميت 50 نقلة" تعني "رميت 50 مرة" .. يبدو أن المتكلم كان يحمل كومة حجارة مثلا، ورمى منها هدفه خمسين مرة ..
هذا الاستعمال شائع عندنا في فلسطين فتستعمل كلمة "نقلة" عوضا عن "مرة" .. ومثال آخر:
"اتصلت بك 5 نقلات وما رديت" فهنا نقلة تعني مرة أيضا.

ومن الخطأ برأيي ترجمة نقلة على أنها truckload / cargo .. لأن هذا المعنى لا يلائم السياق، وما يلائم السياق هو الكلمة "مرة" كما أسلفت.

neutral  Abdallah Ali: I'd be grateful if you tell where in Palestine is this 'اتصلت بك 5 نقلات' used?

  -> sure bro. this use of the word is not reign-specific, one man might use it, while his brother doesnt. But I can say it is basically used in urban areas, and to be more precise, it is used mostly by the older generation. I live in Kafr Kanna (near Nasrah)
