English term

Crash

English to Arabic Marketing Cosmetics, Beauty
Soft, light textured and easily absorbed, this cream is recommended for all skin types, especially for dry, dehydrated skin, as it leaves the epidermis extremely well nourished and moisturized. It is a “crash” day cream based on the properties of Vitamin A in microcapsules (Retinyl Palmitate), transferred to the skin during application. Used every morning, it restores a smooth and luminous aspect

This might be a tough one, but I really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Iman Khaireddine Apr 21, 2006:
The last note added by Atef supports the meaning of "quick effect".. {buy it when you need a crash treatment and an instant result}
Ahmed Dahman Apr 21, 2006:
It's a "crash day" cream. Indeed there is a day cream and night cream but there isn't a crash cream :o). I think it's a cream that suits the crash style of a day. HTH
atef Sharia Apr 21, 2006:
LOL, But you know, marketing people invent things that even themselves do not believe in. It is just to discuss all the options.
Ziad Marzouka (asker) Apr 21, 2006:
Lol Atef this has nothing to do with games, this is a face cream we're talking about here. The word is already between quote signs, day cream here refers to a cream for morning use, just like night cream is used at night.

سريع المفعول

One of the meanings of the adjective "crash" is:

Designed to meet emergency needs as quickly as possible.

maybe سريع المفعول makes sense here.

Or: ذو مفعول سريع أو فوري
Peer comment(s):
neutral Abdelmonem Samir : That's what khaled said, like, crash course, but your Arabic expression is more beautiful.

It is different Samir, فعال is not the same as سريع المفعول. the day cream could be "effective" in the long run, for instance

I'm sure that the word is crash then day cream(crash not connected to day)
To make sure
run a search over yahoo on day cream you will find a lot of results. Also, run a search on night cream.
for the translation in this case I guess word مرطب for cream will be more acceptable as in many commercials we watch:
مرطب البشرة النهاري الفعال من خلاصة فيتامين أ
or something like this

Peer comment(s):
neutral Abdelmonem Samir : Khaled, I thought about this, but the expression goes " a crash day", I think that day has to play a role here
10 mins
no, it's a crash day cream, to separate then use day cream, this cream might be used to protect from sunlight or anything like this
neutral Iman Khaireddine : It is indeed a day cream, as opposed to night cream. "Crash" is not related to "day", as you have explained Khaled.

thanks
neutral Ala Rabie : it is intensive indeed, but it should also denote the quick/rapid effect as well.

maybe, I guess both translation would word
agree Stephen Franke : Most fitting of the various replies. I may be misinformed, but that slang term "crash" does not seem to be familiar in the contemporary Arabophone world. Awkward context, BTW.

منعش، إنعاش

as per this meaning for Crash I found

عَرَبَةُ الإِنْعاش ؛ crash cart ( = resuscitation cart)

http://www.emro.who.int/umd/browsingsubj.asp?PageNo=9&subj=3...

and Crash treatment , will be علاج إنعاشي

crash treatment علاج إنعاشي

Serum is a product that is used occasionally from treating wrinkles to dryness, lack of luster and a long etcetera. There are many types. They are usually expensive. You only need one and it lasts for a long time. If you want to, buy it when you need a crash treatment and an instant result…

التميز

المتميز

لعل الاسم مشتق من اسم الفيلم الشهير ورغم أن مصطلح
Crash moment
المشتق أيضا من اسم الفيلم يشير إلى الشعور بالتمييز بسبب اللون فإنني أميل للأخذ بالمعني المقابل وهو التميز

Crash is the name of a 1996 film directed by David Cronenberg based on the J. G. Ballard book of the same name.
Example: Los Angeles Mayor declared Tuesday "Crash" Day to honor the cast and crew of the Oscar-winning movie about race relations set in the second biggest U.S. city.

Crash moment, derived from the 2005 movie, is a term which refers to a situation where a person feels discriminated against on the basis of skin color.

Note:
Crash is also a Slang term meaning "cool"
