Egyptian phrasebook

The two most common Arabic phrases that you will hear around you every now and then during your stay in Egypt are:
"Insha Allah!" - “If Allah wills!”, and
"Il hamdul illa!" - “Glory to the Lord!”
By using these phrases appropriately and even inappropriately, you can “maintain a conversation” with the Egyptians for quite a long time, and in such a way that they will not immediately suspect that you absolutely do not know their language. Imagine being asked questions in Arabic:

Are you from Russia?
- Il hamdul illa!
- you will answer.
- Have you come to rest?
- Insha Allah!
- Do you like it in Egypt?
- Il hamdul illa!
- etc. ad infinitum.

Here are the Arabic words that everyone should know polite to a stranger in an Arab country:

Yes - ayua,
no - la,
thank you - shukran,
please - afuan,
Sorry! (to attract attention) - leusomacht!
maybe, maybe - mumkin.

For shopping you will need the following words and expressions:

How much does it cost? - Bikam huh?
Can I watch this? - Mumkin ashuf huh?
money - fulus,
change - fakka,
bad - mush kuayes,
good - kuayes.

When moving Around the city you may need the following words:

To the right - Yaminak,
to the left - shimalek,
here is my wife,
Where are you going? - Inta raikh fen?
city ​​center - El Dahar.

For orientation in time It's worth learning:

Today - innaharda,
yesterday - imbarikh,
tomorrow - bukra.

Word " bokra" is often used as a polite refusal. If they promise you that they will do something for you "tomorrow", this may mean that they will never do it... Europeans jokingly call this phenomenon of Egyptian national psychology with the abbreviation "IBM" - " Insha Allah, Bokra, Mumkin”, which means “If Allah wills, Tomorrow, Maybe!”.

Can't do without numerals:
ten is Asherah,
twenty - eshrin,
thirty - Talyatin,
forty - arbaine,
