منظور اللغة
في اللغة الأم
Experiences often use verb-specific patterns, prepositions, or attached pronouns rather than a simple English-style subject.
يعجبني هذا الفيلم.
Pleases-me this film.
في لغة التعلم
English often puts the experiencer as the subject, but some patterns use objects or prepositional phrases.
I like music.
I = experiencer; music = experienced thing
Learners may translate experiencer constructions literally, especially feelings, likes, and bodily states.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
