Hi Gareth, thanks for dropping by.

Words in expressions sometimes do not carry their literal meanings so I can see why this can create some confusion.

But, you’re right. The meaning of the word الحق is the truth/right. However when used in the question الحق على مين or the statement الحق عليه، the meaning changes to carry the english equivalent of “fault” in this context.

Hope this helps! 🙂

I thought الحق meant the truth or a right/priviledge (at least in lebanese arabic). Is this another meaning, or is it just a less literal interpretation?
