OK I'm confused now, you are saying I'm going to learn something without the carrot to follow? :blink: You still have a lot to learn about men :p.

Seriously though I love the thread and hopefully someone does a video :).

min fodlac means literally from your grace. min being from, the spirit of the word is please.

so min fodlac , is please as said to a man, your (male) ends with ac

and min fodlic is please as said to a woman, your (female) ends with ic

...because there is no "p" sound in arabic - only "b"

[I did a short arabic course which turned into 10 weeks of doing *just* the alphabet, so I can read out words but haven't a clue what they mean... although very handily, their English translation is right next to them. Interestingly enough, most shop signs are direct transliterations of their English name (and not a translation), so if you're into puzzles, you can work out the letters!]

Not really. Just look at the other Nationalities you deal with every day.
