JO YOUNJOO (asker) May 10, 2007:
Thank you for your kind espression, Mr. Samir!
I understand exactly the word
Also I could find "massa" in Arabic -Korean dictionary.

Alla-Ubariku-Fik!
Abdelmonem Samir May 9, 2007:
so,
you can use في حاجة ماسة إلى (in a bad need for)
or
في أمس الحاجة إلى (desperate to, in most urgent need of or in dire need of)
Abdelmonem Samir May 9, 2007:
as for the meaning of "Amas". It is a superlative form, from the word "massa" which comes with حاجة (Haga) in the expression حاجة ماسة to mean "urgent, pressing or bad (need)".
Abdelmonem Samir May 9, 2007:
They are both spelled, أمس , but yesterday is pronounced "Aams" while the word I used here is pronounced "Amas". in the first word the stress is on the first syllable which is "aa", but in the second, the stress is on the last syllable "s".
Abdelmonem Samir May 9, 2007:
the word that means "yesterday" and this word are what they call in linguistics "homographs" , they share the same spelling but they have different meanings.
