السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاتة
كنت منذ قليل فى منتدى عربى...ووجدت موضوعا يحذرنا من استخدام كلمة ( باى )....ويقول المقال ان معناها...((فى حفظ البابا ))...اى (( اذهب فى حفظ البابا ))...فهل هذا صحيح؟
وهذا جزء من المقال
(( باي ))
طبعا كلنا عارفين الكلمة هذه وعارفين مدى انتشارها هذه الايام , وبدأنا
نستعملها بشكل ملفت للنظر, ومن شهرتها صارت ختام لكل مكالمة, وختام لأي
محادثة صارت شىء رسمي جدا وأساسي.
لكن للأسف نستعمل كلمة نحن لا نعرف معناها , غير أننا نمشي مع التيار
ولو عرفتوا معناها أحبتي صدقوني لن تستعملونها نهائيا ويمكن تستحقرونها
وتنبذونها لدرجة أنكم سوف تكرهون سماعها وتمنعوا أحد من أن يقولها.
ومعناها للاسف
( في حفظ البابا )
أرأيتم نختم كلامنا بحفظ البابا الذي هو لا يستطيع أصلا أن يحفظ نفسه!!
[Alteration (influenced by good day) of God be with you.]
WORD HISTORY No doubt more than one reader has wondered exactly how goodbye is derived from the phrase “God be with you.” To understand this, it is helpful to see earlier forms of the expression, such as God be wy you, god b'w'y, godbwye, god buy' ye, and good-b'wy. The first word of the expression is now good and not God, for good replaced God by analogy with such expressions as good day, perhaps after people no longer had a clear idea of the original sense of the expression. A letter of 1573 written by Gabriel Harvey contains the first recorded use of goodbye: “To requite your gallonde [gallon] of godbwyes, I regive you a pottle of howdyes,” recalling another contraction that is still used.
