They bought luxury tea from Bahbari! – ryan
Some may believe that this is an advertisement for Omar Bahbari’s tea in the ancient Saudi newspaper today, that shrewd Yemeni merchant who made the British laughing. I think it is worth advertising if he is still alive, because of his acumen, intelligence and strange story with the British occupation.
Omar Bahbari was a Yemeni tea merchant, who lived in the period of the English occupation of Yemen, and he was aware and knowledgeable with the news and languages of other peoples, including English, by virtue of being a merchant mixed with traders of foreign countries from which he brings his goods.
The events of the story are represented by the exploitation of the Yemeni tea merchant, the naivety of the British colonizer, in the service of his personal interests, and he won huge profits after the free publicity he obtained, especially with his certainty with the mortality and hatred of his country’s sons to be the British presence on their soil. It was difficult for the British to communicate with the Yemenis due to the lack of translators of the Arabic language, so it was necessary to seek help from the region’s sides of the English language, so Omar Bahbari was called.
The trick on the British lies in the translation of Omar Bahbari to the British demands from the Yemeni people to give them confidence and acquiescence to them. After the British summoned Omar, as the only translator who is able to help them gain the loyalty of the Yemenis to be able to extend their influence, Omar translated the demands of the Arabic language, and printed millions of publications that were distributed by planes throughout Yemen.
After a while, a British general visited Aden to inspect the situation, and he was familiar with the Arabic language, so he took a handful of those publications and read them, so the officer responsible for these publications asked him to answer that she was to win the support and loyalty of the people, so the general asked him with amazement about the written in it? The officer replied to it, “Victory to the Allies … join us … etc.”, and the general replied to him: Rather, he wrote on it, “Buy the finest types of tea from the age of Bahbari.”
It is said: “Whoever learns the language of a people who is safe,” is a sign of the importance of learning the languages of other peoples. Language is the basis of human communication, and a way to convey ideas and knowledge between individuals and peoples and to exchange information and experiences. The language is the way individuals and cultures are expressed different from themselves.
Learning languages helps to understand other cultures, similarities, and the difference between them and our culture. Language is not just a means of communication, but rather a way to understand the thinking, values, customs and traditions of other cultures.
Learning of different languages helps to communicate, thus building new relationships and expanding the circle of knowledge and friends, in addition to enhancing self -confidence, stimulating the brain, and improving memory and concentration. He can also create better educational and functional opportunities. In the time of globalization and international communication, learning different languages is important for human learning and development, and to obtain new job opportunities.
Although there are many devices and applications that do instantaneous translation, speaking in more than one language remains a dazzling human skill, and in fact I never felt jealous and elaboration towards anyone as I felt from speakers in more than one language.
So, learning different languages is a necessity to facilitate communication and understanding, create new functional and educational opportunities, enhance self -confidence and improve memory in addition to the possibility of increasing your wealth if you use the correct use, as the wealth of Omar Bahbari increased.
