Arabic language is no different. This is a great way to introduce yourself to others you meet. It is also an excellent way to start an Arabic conversation. However, there are many different ways to greet somebody. Here are a few:<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-marhaba\"><strong>Marhaba <\/strong>&#8211; <strong>\u0645\u0631\u062d\u0628\u0627<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Meaning \u201cHello\u201d or \u201cHi\u201d, <em>marhaba<\/em> is the generic polite and neutral <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.kaleelah.com\/blog\/arabic-words-and-phrases-for-the-greeting-how-are-you\/\">greeting<\/a> used by all Arabic speaking countries making it the safest way to greet anyone and start a conversation in Arabic. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-assalaamu-alaikum\"><strong>Assalaamu alaikum<\/strong> &#8211; \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0643\u0645 <\/h2>\n<p><em>Assalaamu alaikum<\/em>\u00a0is the traditional Islamic greeting used throughout the Arab world since the birth of Islam. It means \u201cPeace be upon you\u201d and the usual response is <em>wa alaykom salam<\/em>\u00a0or \u201cpeace be upon you, too\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ya-teek-il-aafyih\"><strong>Ya<\/strong>&#8216;<strong>teek il<\/strong>&#8216;<strong>aafyih<\/strong> &#8211; <strong>\u064a\u0639\u0637\u064a\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>This greeting means \u201cMay God give you strength\u201d or \u201cMay God give you health\u201d and although it invokes the name of God, it is not really a religious greeting but more of an everyday one much like <em>marhaba<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-salaam\"><strong>Salaam&nbsp;&#8211; \u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is really amazing that this little word says so much to someone by simply offering someone \u201cpeace\u201d and may just brighten their otherwise ordinary day.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-sabaah-ilkhair\"><strong>Sabaah ilkhair &#8211; \u0635\u0628\u0627\u062d \u0627\u0644\u062e\u064a\u0631<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll hear this phrase many times in the morning as family, friends and colleagues wish each other a \u201cgood morning\u201d. This is usually met with the response of <em>sabah el noor<\/em>\u00a0or \u201clight morning\u201d \u2013 a great response, especially if you\u2019re not a morning person and don\u2019t want a heavy morning.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-keefak\"><strong>Keefak &#8211; \u0643\u064a\u0641\u0643<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Much like in English, most greetings are quickly followed up by \u201cHow are you?\u201d. In the case of the Arabic language, this is keefak\u00a0(or keefik\u00a0if you\u2019re speaking to a woman). Because every country (and sometimes every region within a country) has its own dialect, the answer may be different from one area to the next. For instance, in Iraq the answer may be <em>zain<\/em> (good) while in Jordan it\u2019s <em>kwaiz<\/em> (also good), but learning all of these different dialects is the fun part of learning Arabic, isn\u2019t it?<br \/>In the same way, even marhaba can be different from one country to another. In Tunisia, for example \u201cHello\u201d is <em>aslema <\/em>(peace) while in the Lebanese dialect, it\u2019s <em>\u00e7a va<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>No matter how you say it, kaleela.com is always ready to give you a warm and friendly \u201cHello\u201d!
