Moving on to our eleventh letter of the Arabic alphabet (\u0632<\/strong>), we will look at various words beginning with (\u0632<\/strong>) along with more culture\/language related facts.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin with looking at your basic forms of the letter \u0632<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n

Initial \u0632\u200e<\/strong>, as in the word \u201c\u0632\u064f\u062c\u0627\u062c<\/strong>\u201d meaning \u201cglass\u201d.<\/p>\n

Before looking at the following words, can you think of words beginning with \u0632<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n

\u0632\u064e\u0645\u064a\u0644<\/strong> :mate, fellow, colleague, coworker\u00a0 \u00a0 .\u062f\u0639\u0627\u0646\u064a \u0632\u064e\u0645\u064a\u0644\u064a \u0644\u0650\u062a\u0646\u0627\u0648\u0644 \u0637\u0639\u0627\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u063a\u064e\u062f\u0627\u0621 \u0644\u0650\u0645\u0646\u0627\u0642\u0634\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u064e\u0634\u0631\u0648\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0651\u064e\u062f\u064a\u062f<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a typical \u062a\u0642\u0644\u064a\u062f\u064a<\/strong> Middle Eastern breakfast, you are bound to find \u201czaatar\u201d \u0632\u0639\u062a\u0631<\/strong> which is thyme mixed with sesame seeds<\/strong> \u0628\u064f\u0630\u0648\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0645\u0633\u0645<\/strong> and spices such as sumac \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064f\u0645\u0627\u0642<\/strong> and cumin \u0643\u064e\u0645\u0648\u0646<\/strong>.

Sometimes it is sprinkled on baked dough called \u201cmanakish<\/strong>\u201d \u0645\u064e\u0646\u0627\u0642\u064a\u0634<\/strong> as you can see in the photo.<\/p>\n

Every time I go home to Jordan to visit family, I pack my suitcase with lots of \u0632\u0639\u062a\u0631<\/strong> to last me a while before I go back. If you haven\u2019t already tried it, I hope you get the chance to.

Note that to refer to oil as in petrol, you would use the word \u0646\u0650\u0641\u0637<\/strong> or \u0628\u0650\u062a\u0652\u0631\u0648\u0644<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

?? Many words related to marriage begin with \u0632<\/strong> making it easy to remember. Wedding<\/strong> is \u0632\u064e\u0641\u0627\u0641<\/strong> and marriage<\/strong> is \u0632\u064e\u0648\u0627\u062c<\/strong>. Husband<\/strong> is \u0632\u064e\u0648\u062c<\/strong> and wife<\/strong> is \u0632\u064e\u0648\u062c\u0629<\/strong>. At the beginning of the \u0632\u064e\u0641\u0627\u0641<\/strong>, you have what you call a \u0632\u0641\u0640\u0651\u0640\u0629<\/strong> which is when the bride and groom have a grand entry while traditional music is played.<\/p>\n

When invited to an Arabic wedding, expect \u062a\u064e\u0648\u064e\u0642\u0651\u064e\u0639<\/strong> it to be at a wedding hall<\/strong> \u0642\u0627\u0639\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0651\u064e\u0641\u0627\u0641<\/strong> or hotel \u0641\u064f\u0646\u0652\u062f\u064f\u0642<\/strong> or even a house. Wedding parties can either be mixed \u0645\u064f\u062e\u062a\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0637<\/strong> or segregated \u0645\u064f\u0646\u0641\u064e\u0635\u0650\u0644<\/strong> where men and women are in separate halls. Depending on the bride and groom\u2019s budget \u0645\u064a\u0632\u0627\u0646\u064a\u0629<\/strong>, either a dinner is served or sometimes only simple pastries and a dessert.

\u0632\u064a\u0646<\/strong> can be used as an adjective to mean beautiful, handsome, graceful. Both girls and boys can be named \u0632\u064a\u0646<\/strong>, sometimes \u0632\u064a\u0646<\/strong> is made more feminine by adding a \u0629<\/strong> to the end making it \u0632\u064a\u0646\u0629<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is also used to reply to the question, \u201cHow are you?\u201d in the Gulf. For example, Iraqis reply with \u0632\u064a\u0646<\/strong> meaning \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cfine\u201d, when asking them how they are doing. In Levantine countries though, it is not used in this way. To reply to \u201cHow are you?\u201d, one can say \u062a\u0645\u0627\u0645\u060c \u0645\u0646\u064a\u062d\u060c \u0643\u0648\u064a\u0633<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
