Hi all,
I'm wondering if you can help me to translate this idiomatically into US English. It appears in a few isolated sentences in a project I am working on:
- هذا الفتى شبشول ، فهويرتدي ملابس ممزقة
- يدلّ شبشول الطحين على العفن والرطوبة
- إرتدى فادي ملابس رثّة وقديمة، كم هو شبشول
- تدلى شبشول العنكبوت من سقف غرفة الجلوس
- كان شبشول الذرة كخيوط صفراء متداخلة
Thanks in advance for your help!
