Omg. I love this women's energy. Seriously, we could hangout.

The arabic is a interesting language. There are several ways to say a sentence. Great!

[folklorishqiptar]

In albanian we also say "health" which is "shëndet" or "shnet" for short, but we use it as a way to say goodbye also when you sneeze we say "health" just like english people would say "bless you".

[EmineStars]

In Turkish there's a lot of Arabic influence:
Selamümaleyküm = may peace be upon you
Selam = (abbreviation of previous, more used by youngsters)
Merhaba = hello
Kolay gelsin = may it be easy to you (when someone's busy, you say hello/wish him easy work)
N'aber = what's up (streetlingo)
Hayırlı sabahlar = have a blessed morning
Iyi günler = have a good day

Maha you are hilarious I cannot imagine you being angry ever. Love it. Saludos corazon

[MrBezzzz]

In farsi (Persian) we say “khoda ghowat” which means “god give you power” very similar to “ya’tik el’afi” both in a scenes of meaning and functionality.Thanks Maha, you are truly amazing.

[fotinimilioti]

Is Ya'tik el'afi used also ironically when addressing to someone who is lazy and doing nothing?

[EPRazz]

Your teaching is great! You have such good vibes and your always smiling helps me remember

[MoremItzum]

In Bavaria, Germany, we sometimes say "Habadere" to greet someone, which is the short colloquial form of "Habe die Ehre", literally meaning "I have the honour (to meet you)". I think it's a nice way to greet someone. Unfortunately the younger generations (my generation) don't use it any more or just very rarely. That's why I'm saying it sometimes, just to keep it alive! You can also use it to say bye.
Shukran Jazeelan for the video, Maha, and greetings from Germany! Habe die Ehre!

Maha is the ambassador of the modern Arab world! I love your enthusiasm for sharing your culture and language with the digital community around the world! May Allah bless you and Palestine, Inshallah!

[Sosawoo]

This is a very beautiful sister thank you so much for her help she does it perfectly so everyone could understand and overstand the the meaning of the word and how to say perfectly thank you Queen

This helps but most of my family speaks Arabic but they won’t teach me standard, Arabic so I only know slang and swear words 😂

[rdeyegirl]

I am trying to learn simple sayings to be friendly with anyone who speaks this language who has moved to Canada. I can’t imagine what it would be like to move somewhere where nobody speaks the same language! They might laugh at my attempt but at least I can make someone smile in trying 😀

[iNeedFIFAcoins]

I've been a fan of your channel for a few years Maha, thanks for another great lesson! My family is from Jordan and Palestine so I appreciate all the Palestinian dialect videos. With your videos I hope to learn Arabic well enough to communicate better with my relatives

[levimusitz]

As for your question, of course! Just like Arabic, Russian has greetings based on the word 'health'. For example, 'zdarova' (stress on O) is a cool informal Hi, something like Arabic 'Awafi.

[EthemD]

In Turkish there is also a phrase that is similar to Ya'tik el a'fi, which is "kolay gelsin" = "may it come easy".

[levimusitz]

A'wafi sounds really cool and easy to remember. I'm going to give it a try 😁

[ICanSpeakArabic]

good lesson.
شكرا بزاف يا استاذنا 👏❤❤

[jesuschristfollowersministry]
