After a meal, the person who prepared the food or the host will say \u201c\u0635\u064e\u062d\u062a\u064e\u064a\u0646<\/strong>\u201d. There is no exact equivalent to this phrase in English. The closest equivalent is the French phrase Bon app\u00e9tit which is also used in English. \u0635\u064e\u062d\u062a\u064e\u064a\u0646<\/strong> is derived from the word \u0635\u062d\u0629<\/strong> meaning \u201chealth\u201d. Do you recall the dual form in Arabic? \u0635\u064e\u062d\u062a\u064e\u064a\u0646<\/strong> is the dual form of \u0635\u062d\u0629<\/strong> making it \u201ctwo healths\u201d. Arabic speakers sometimes like to use the dual form for emphasis. Another example is using the dual form of \u201chello\u201d \u0645\u0631\u062d\u0628\u0627<\/strong>. Someone says \u0645\u0631\u062d\u0628\u0627<\/strong>, the other replies \u0645\u064e\u0631\u062d\u0628\u062a\u064e\u064a\u0646<\/strong> \u201ctwo hellos\u201d. So, by wishing someone eating \u0635\u064e\u062d\u062a\u064e\u064a\u0646<\/strong>, you are exaggerating your wishes of good health. The appropriate reply to \u0635\u064e\u062d\u062a\u064e\u064a\u0646<\/strong> is \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0642\u064e\u0644\u0628\u064e\u0643<\/strong> meaning \u201chealth to your heart\u201d.<\/p>\n
