Even More Meanings:Ambiguity
I saw a man on a hill with a telescope.
It seems like a simple statement, until you begin to unpack the many alternate meanings:
• There’s a man on a hill, and I’m watching him with my telescope.
• There’s a man on a hill, who I’m seeing, and he has a telescope.
• There’s a man, and he’s on a hill that also has a telescope on it.
• I’m on a hill, and I saw a man using a telescope.
• There’s a man on a hill, and I’m sawing him with a telescope.

شكرا جزيلا علي افادتنا يا مستر ولكن اود ان انوه عن وجود خطا وهو sawing والتي يفترض ان تكون watching او seeing ولا يوجد مانع لان الرؤية هنا لا تتم بالعين المجردة فقط.

وكذلك هذا الفعل له معانى اخرى كثيرة منها ان تضرب شخص ما على احد اجزاء جسمة وكانك تقطعه الى نصفين وعنوان الموضوع جمل غامضة

رايت رجلا ينشر بمنشار
وهناك افعال كثيرة غريبة منها

find found found يجد

I'm sawing wood with a saw now.

مشكور استاذي الفاضل علي ردك المحترم والذي ينُم عن شخصكم الكريم
في الجملة التي سبق ونوهت عنها الفعل saw ليس في سياق اي معني له كفعل مضارع اي ليس مستخدما بمعني "ينشر خشبا " وغيرها وفي هذه الجملة There’s a man on a hill, and I’m sawing him with a telescope. الفعل يحتمل معني الرؤية فقط لذا ينبغي تغييره الي الفعل watch/see كما ذكرت
واذا كان لك رايا آخر فاني مرحب به استاذ يالفاضل
دمت بصحة وعافيه وتقبل ردِّي

هناك جمل حضرتك وجدتها فى بعض المواقع ولكنها تخدش الحياء لتبين معنى هذه الجملة وانا اسف ان اضع هذه الجمل

Sawing
Where you move your arm back and forth in a sawing manner in a persons crotch, trying as if you were to saw them in half up their body. They experience a very painful sensation as their genitals are "sawed".
Dude, i was sawing him so bad that one of his balls got lodged in his stomach.
#sawing #gobble #jackhammer #painful #saw #sawed


Sawing
When a person moves their arm back and forth in a sawing motion on a person's genitals which can end up being very painful.
Girl 1: How long was he sawing you for?
Girl 2: Idk..10 minutes maybe.
Girl 1: WHAT!?!?!?! That sounds terrible!
Girl 2: It was and it hurt like b**ch.
The term "death by sawing" indicates the act of sawing a living person in half, either sagitally (usually midsagitally), or transversely. Thus, decapitation by sawing or dismemberment by sawing are tangential sub-themes, though some ambiguous cases might be included. Death by sawing was a method of execution reportedly used in different parts of the world. Some of the reviewed examples are clearly legendary, and at least one source states that the method was probably never used.[2]

انها جمل خادشة للحياء فعلا ولكن استاذي الفاضل في هذه الجمل الفعل saw هو كفعل مضارع بمعني ينشر اي يستخدم منشارا ليقطع شيء وايضا معانِِ اخري لكن في الجملة هذه There’s a man on a hill, and I’m sawing him with a telescope الفعل saw ليس بمعني ينشر مطلقا لذا يجب تغييره الي watching/seeing لان السياق يتطلب فعل رؤية او مشاهدة
...هذا ما اردت توضيحه اخي الكريم وجزاك الله خيرا علي ما تقدمه من مناقشات مفيدة ونافعة
دمت بخير وسلامة اخي الفاضل
