1.      Dari segi waktu turunnya
Makki adalah  yang diturunkan sebelum hijrah meskipun bukan di mekkah. Madani adalah  yang turun sesudah hijrah meskipun bukan di madinah. Yang diturunkan sesudah hijrah  sekalipun di mekkah atau Arafah adalah madani.
2.      Dari segi tempat turunnya
Makki adalah  yang turun di mekkah dan sekitarnya. Seperti Mina, Arafah dan
Hudaibiyah. Dan Madani ialah yang turun di madinah dan sekitarnya. Seperti Quba` dan Sil`.
3.       Dari segi sasaran pembicaraan.
Makki adalah yang seruannya ditujukan kepada penduduk mekkah dan madani
ditujukan kepada penduduk madinah. Berdasarkan pendapat ini, para pendukungnya menyatakan bahwa ayat Qur`an yang mengandung seruan yaa ayyuhannas ( wahai
manusia) adalah makki, sedang ayat yang mengandung seruan yaa ayyu halladziina aamanuu ( wahai orang-orang yang beriman) adalah madani.

Means of IDIOM in Translation Learning



IDIOM

From: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiom
An idiom is a word or phrase which means something different from what it says - it is usually a metaphor. Idioms are common phrases or terms whose meaning is not real, but can be understood by their popular use.
Because idioms can mean something different from what the words mean it is difficult for someone not very good at speaking the language to use them properly. Some idioms are only used by some groups of people or at certain times. The idiom shape up or ship out, which is like saying improve your behavior or leave if you don't, might be said by an employer or supervisor to an employee, but not to other people.
Idioms are not the same thing as slang. Idioms are made of normal words that have a special meaning known by almost everyone. Slang is usually special words that are known only by a particular group.
To learn a language a person needs to learn the words in that language, and how and when to use them. But people also need to learn idioms separately because certain words together or at certain times can have different meanings. In order to understand an idiom, one sometimes needs to know the culture the idiom comes from.
To know the history of an idiom can be useful and interesting, but is not necessary to be able to use the idiom properly. For example most native British English speakers know that "No room to swing a cat" means "there was not a lot of space" and can use the idiom properly, but few know it is because 200 years ago sailors were punished by being whipped with a whip called a "cat o'nine tails".[source?] A big space was cleared on the ship so that the person doing the whipping had a lot of room to swing the cat.
A better understanding of an idiom is that it is a phrase whose meaning cannot be understood from the dictionary definitions of each word taken separately.
From:

Definiton:
Idiom is an expression that has a meaning different from the usual meanings of the individual words within it.
Example: we’re all in the same boat means  “We’re in a similar situation”, NOT  “we’re all in a watercraft together”.


From

Definition: As used in this site, "idiom" most often refers to a phrase or expression that cannot be understood by knowing what the individual words in the phrase mean. For example, "to roll out the red carpet" is to extravagantly welcome a guest; no red carpet is needed. The phrase is misunderstood when interpreted in a literal fashion. An example of a Spanish idiom is "no está el horno para bollos, which literally means "the oven isn't ready for bread rolls." The phrase generally means "the time isn't right." Although most idiomatic phrases are of primarily colloquial usage, there are many that are acceptable in standard speech and writing.
Another meaning for "idiom" is a specialized language or a distinctive pattern in the usage of a language. As such, it can refer to the way a language is used in a given region; in such usage, an idiom usually isn't seen as distinctly different as a dialect is, although sometimes "idiom" and "dialect" are used interchangeably. An idiom can similarly refer to the language patterns used within a certain profession or other subgroup. For example, it might be said that college students have their own idiom.

Functions of Idioms
http://grammar.about.com/od/il/g/idiomterm.htm

"People use idioms to make their language richer and more colorful and to convey subtle shades of meaning or intention. Idioms are used often to replace a literal word or expression, and many times the idiom better describes the full nuance of meaning. Idioms and idiomatic expressions can be more precise than the literal words, often using fewer words but saying more. For example, the expression it runs in the family is shorter and more succinct than saying that a physical or personality trait 'is fairly common throughout one's extended family and over a number of generations.'"
(Gail Brenner, Webster's New World American Idioms Handbook. Webster's New World, 2003)

How to Use Swear Words in English


Are you scared of swear words? Are you unsure of when to use them? It’s good to be cautious, because it’s delicate.
Swear words can be one of the most difficult parts of a language to master, as you have to be careful when practicing them. Some people may get really offended by their use.
But even if you don’t want to use swear words, you still need to understand them as they are quite common in the English language. You may not say them, but you still want to understand what’s going on during TV, a movie, a book, a conversation or any other type of English you may be trying to understand.

Why Use Swear Words?

Swear words, love them or hate them, are an integral part of a language. To master fluency, you must master swear words. But why do people use them? What’s the point?
When you use swear words, they allow you to convey emotion that would otherwise not be as easy to communicate. Swear words increase your vocabulary and give you a wider range of emotions to invoke than if you didn’t use any.
Some swear words are extremely versatile and can be used in many different ways. When you begin to overcome your negative gut-reaction, you may start to see the beauty in all of these amazing swear words.
Of course, it’s important not to overuse swear words, just like you wouldn’t want to overuse any word. However, because some swear words are so interchangeable, it can become easy to just rely on a few swear words as the majority of your vocabulary.
The most important lesson to take home from swear words is to just notice how they make you react and ask yourself why these feelings arise inside you.
Below is a list of the nine most common swear words in English with the many different ways in which they are used.
It’s important that when you practice swear words that you do it with close friends who can help guide you towards the proper time and place to use them. But when in doubt, use them with people who are near your age.

Translating Swear Words

It’s almost impossible to translate swear words, because they are so colloquial and unique to the culture. However, we will do our best to help you understand the words in relation to Portuguese. If you have any suggestions or better translations please feel free to let us know in the comments!
