Main Greetings in Arabic

Hi Polyglots, 🌍

In today's lesson, you will learn different ways to greet in Arabic. 🤝

To say "Hello" in Arabic, you can say "السلام عليكم" (alsalam ealaykum, it's an Islamic greeting) or simply "مرحبا" (marhaba). We also use the expression أهلا و سهلا (ahlan wa sahlan), which means that you are strongly welcoming someone or you are very happy to see that person.

After mastering the art of greetings in Standard Arabic, you might want to expand your vocabulary by exploring other related topics, such as Days of the Week, Standard-arabic Vocabulary - Fish and Seafood, and Shapes. Dive into these lessons and continue your journey towards becoming a fluent Arabic speaker!
