| Welcome to Egypt - hi,
Marlo from Egypt welcomes you and hope you a nice holiday :) here are some common egyptian phrases : * Yes : "AH" * No : "LA" * Welcome : "AHLAN" or "MARHABA" * when you want to talk about something around you, just point at it and say : "DA" = this * the generic greeting to every body at all times : "SALAMO ALYKOM" = piece for you. * to ask about the price of any thing, point at it and say : "BEKAM DA?" = how much is this ? * if the price is too much, say : "la, keteer" = no, too much. * give me : "HAT" (when talking to males) "HATI" (when talking to females) * i am english : "ANA ENGLEE ZEYAH" * bye : "SALAM" * I : "ANA" * you : "ENTA" (for males) "ENTI" (for females) mmm, that's all what i thought about. if you want more phrases, tell me about them. (u can contact me personally from any contact given in my profile) have a nice time. yours, Marlo | |
