The Gulf or Khaleeji dialect is one that simply can’t be ignored. Some say it sounds a little too harsh, others find it quite appealing, but there’s one thing you can’t deny- it’s definitely worth knowing a few things here and there. You never know when it might get you out of trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Or earn you the respect and admiration of fellow colleagues (if so), for putting in the effort.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re ready to learn a little more than the ‘habibi’ we’ve all kind of overused when meeting an Arab, here’s a few other words and phrases to get you by:\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Mashkoor\/a or Shukran- Thank You<\/h3>\n

Mashkoor\/mashkoora is another, more formal word for the usual ‘shukran’ or thank you. Note that adding the ‘a’ towards the end of the word means you only say this to a woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
