Please translate the sentences for me. I've got a friend on MSN which sometimes talks to me in Arabic but I can't read Arabic. But I really need to know what he's saying/meaning with this sentences. By the way; he is Syrian.
It's one who is guilty of an offense, for example: when a mother says to her son after he become an adult -> sorry my son, I should of done better than this I know I'm delinquent with you, I'm sorry.
Yeah, well, since this is a "meaning only" translation, I think we should pass the meaning on, not the exact word which would not sound well in English.
Hi Lein,
I think neglectful is not the correct word as it means " verwaarlozing " in Dutch, also, I translated it from Arabic into English and there are no other translations to مقصر apart from delinquent. And neglectful which is verwaarlozing in Dutch means إهمال not مقصر!!
So, I don't know what exactly should be refined but to translate from the Arabic one into English, the word should be delinquent.
