Just stuff I pick up in songs like habibi, ya eini, etc. lol<br /><br />Plus it's hard getting the perfect pronunciation. Especially with 'ain. Usually it's the Q, KH, and GH sound everyone has problems with, but not for me. Just that damn 'ain sound LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076741921239309553.post-23335708556453921732010-12-25T14:22:02.728+03:002010-12-25T14:22:02.728+03:00If you need more arsenal for those "food floo...If you need more arsenal for those "food floods," you can also say, "al hamdul'Illah, kefayyah" (kefayyah means enough/sufficient) or, "shukran, wa bas, khallaas." (thanks but that's enough, leave it) This is all khaleeji slang, lol. <br /><br />I found that I was ignored most of the time, so I needed different ways of saying the same thing, so I could just keep on saying it and finally get the message across. It got like a phobia with me, dreading eating at anyone's house because I'd face such pressure to stuff myself - sort of killing us with kindness in the form of food!Healing Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434544812025924667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076741921239309553.post-40857849263623569742010-12-25T01:11:17.920+03:002010-12-25T01:11:17.920+03:00Funny!!! ..the same used to happen to me whenever ...Funny!!! ..the same used to happen to me whenever I visited my dear Egyptian friend... years ago... her mother used to do the same thing!!! Until one day she just looked at me and said "...you know, you DON'T have to eat it!!!.. we just HAVE TO put it on your plate"!!! LOL... I thanked her profusely and gave her a big hug!!! She knew me well.. and we are like sisters, so I guess that meant I was just like 'part of the family' and not just a guest... lol :D <br /><br />So let her pile it up... say "Shabaanah" and eat what you can!! :DZORROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057263040571662963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076741921239309553.post-34108104288112611422010-12-24T18:44:48.392+03:002010-12-24T18:44:48.392+03:00oh and i know what you mean about the weight gain!...oh and i know what you mean about the weight gain! My MIL cooks amazing dishes and even when i have eaten enough to burst she is still trying to get me to eat more. They actually get concerned that i dont eat enough lol. to them, you only eat a lot when you eat a lot of meat (which i dont like to eat that often) so i could eat loads of bread and side dishes, couscous, etc and still not have eaten anything in their eyes =)Rene´s Bare Essentialshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308212836561045324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076741921239309553.post-77615558091799310332010-12-24T18:43:38.925+03:002010-12-24T18:43:38.925+03:00OMG Rene!!
