Ahmed Isagizli Jul 6, 2015:

كوشة تعنى مصطبة يجلس عليها المحتفى به سواء كان عريسا وعروسه او سياسيا او عالم فى اى مجال

Firas Allouzi Jul 6, 2015:

Correct. If it's Egyptian slang, it could mean "wedding Dias" كوشة العرسان or something similar. But if it's Syrian, it is what Lamis explained. The asker should investigate the text to choose which term is suitable for the larger context.

Nesrine Echroudi Jul 6, 2015:

If it's from an Egyptian book that doesn't mean "plenty of" but a "platform, stage, podium" for the spouses, politician, .....

Arabic TR (asker) Jul 6, 2015:

This is from an Egyptian novel - the full phrase is:
...كوشة" كبيرة في مقدمة الطابور وفي خلفيّتها البوّابة"
