Re: A new word a day
Inspired by the youtube video of the girl with the big boobs teaching one japanese word a day I thought it could kinda work on here.- minus the video and the girl with the big boobs.
So can we learn one arabic word a day please- I know some of the regulars on here speak a certain ammount so am sure we can all learn something. If we can have it idiot proof please eg;
Shukran
Pronounced as shook_ran
Meaning- thank you
anyone else interested?

so la shukran - no thank you
Naam - yes
Had to do a visa run to Hatta last Monday. Going through the checkpoints at the Omani border checkpoint before Hatta (manned by UAE army guys) couldn't believe how much they appreciated my very basic Arabic. Same applied on the Omani side. Lots of smiles and thank you's for making the effort!!!!

My OH taught me some Angli-Arab.

There were some others but I can't remember at the moment.
