Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: يد بيضا yad-e bayzâ
Hi,

It’s in a Persian textbook for English speakers.

“Special credit is due to Mrs X of National Iranian Radio-Television, who tirelessly and cheerfully read the entire manuscript, made numerous stylistic emendations, and whose yad-e bayzâ helped to eliminate many “grammar-bookisms” from the examples and exercises.”

All the best,

Simon

PS I've written the Persian as best I can, but it may be wrong; yad-e bayzâ is written in Latin script. Please correct my Persian rendition if wrong.

agree  Ramin Vali: "Dast e Sefid" not "Sefif" of course. But in the context means to do something extra ordinary

  -> I laughed after I realized my typo mistake. Thank you Ramin for correcting me.
neutral  Alireza Yazdunpanuh: There seems to be a mistake here, Atena. I suppose the task here is to translate from Farsi into English not from Arabic into Farsi!
