ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Eidi (gift)

Eidi is a special gift that grown-ups give to younger children during important festivals or celebrations. It's like a surprise present that you get when you least expect it.

You know how sometimes your mom or dad gives you a little present on your birthday or on Eid or on other special occasions? Well, that's what eidi is too! But instead of just getting the gift from your family, you can also get it from your friends, neighbors or other grownups who are close to you.

Sometimes eidi can be money, like coins or notes, and other times it can be something fun to play with or eat, like candy or toys. It's a way for grown-ups to show their love and care for the kids in their life and to make them feel special and happy during the festive times.

So, if you ever get eidi, be sure to say 'thank you' and enjoy your gift!
