Arabic term

أمرٌ يُحسب له

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

Does this mean 'something that was of importance to him/something that he saw as important'?

كنتُ أحمل رؤية فينة، تفضيل الجودة على الربح والعدد، بينما كان عمّي ينظر إلى ما أبعد، وهو أمرٌ يُحسب له، كان يرى أن نبيع نوعين من السمك

Thanks!

It means that this is something he deserves praise for, as he was able to look beyond things like profit and number and think about the future (by selling two types of fish; probably to make more profits)
Something went wrong...
