Hi everyone,
I'm working on a literary Syrian text. I know this usually means common denominators, but I wonder if there is a better way of expressing it in this context? The protagonist is taking about how much she has in common with this other woman.
،حين توحي لي بطريقة غير مباشرة أنني أشبهها، وأنّ قواسم مشتركة تجمعنا ..."
تبدأ بالمظهر وتنتهي بالجوهر."
'And that we share some characteristics?/have some things in common?'
Many thanks,
