My english isn't perfect, so there is alot of words I don't know, but I can't find the translation for them..
So, if I ask what a word means, can you try to explain it to me, in very 'small' words, so a little kid would understand it.. Jazak Allâhu khayr..
What does i.e. mean? Like, when you write something, al-Muttaqûn (i.e. ppl with taqwa) etc..
i.e. means 'in other words'. It shows what exactly you mean when you use a term - 'al-Muttaqûn (i.e. ppl with taqwa)' So the Al-Muttaqun is another name for the people with Taqwa
Ahaaaa, okay, now I understand.. Barak Allâhu fik.. I always knew why it was written, but I never understood what it meant.. But now I do, yay.. Jazak Allâhu khayr..
i.e means in example.. ok if your reading something and it is talking about a concept that most people wouldn't understand they say i.e ... meaning this is what they are talking about.. its kind of a way to dumb it down for people

'I.e.' does not mean 'in example'. You might be thinking of 'e.g.', which roughly means 'for example'. 'I.e.' and 'e.g.' are used in slightly different ways.
Here are some examples to show the difference:
1) "I'm talking about carrots, celery and leeks, i.e. vegetables."
2) "I'm talking about vegetables, e.g. carrots, celery and leeks."
For the literal translations of these two abbreviations, see my post above.
Maybe this word means something else in a different country. For example, in the U.K there are many different words of which i don't know of that are not used here in America. For example...
Wicked
bloody
innit
summit
These words aren't used here in U.S maybe someone can give me the definition of these words? and they spell the word 'color' and 'honor' wrong.
