In the previous lesson, we learned about shopping vocabulary in Arabic. We covered the names of different shops and items you might need to buy. Now, let's move on to the next topic in our Standard Arabic course: money vocabulary. In this lesson, we will learn the names of different currencies and denominations in Arabic. This will be useful when you are traveling to Arabic-speaking countries or dealing with Arabic-speaking individuals in a business context. So, let's get started!

Currency Names[edit | edit source]

Let's start by learning the names of some common currencies in Arabic. Here are a few examples:

الدولار الأمريكي (ad-dolar al-ameriki) - US dollar
اليورو (al-yuro) - Euro
الجنيه الإسترليني (al-juniyya al-isturlini) - British pound
الين الياباني (al-yen al-yabani) - Japanese yen
الدرهم الإماراتي (ad-dirham al-imarati) - Emirati dirham

These are just a few examples, and there are many more currencies around the world. You can easily find the names of specific currencies in Arabic by searching online or using a currency conversion app.

Denominations[edit | edit source]

Now, let's move on to the denominations of money in Arabic. Here are some common denominations:

فلس (fils) - fils (subunit of currency)
ريال (riyal) - riyal
دينار (dinar) - dinar
جنيه (junayh) - pound
ليرة (lira) - lira

These denominations may vary depending on the country and the currency. It's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the specific denominations of the currency you will be using.

Counting Money[edit | edit source]

Now that we know the names of different currencies and denominations in Arabic, let's learn how to count money. Here are some useful phrases and vocabulary:

المبلغ (al-mablagh) - amount
النقود (an-nuqud) - money
عملة (umla) - currency
الريال السعودي (ar-riyal as-saudi) - Saudi riyal
ألف ريال (alf riyal) - one thousand riyals
مئة ريال (mia riyal) - one hundred riyals
خمسون ريال (khamsun riyal) - fifty riyals

عشرة ريالات (ashara riyalat) - ten riyals
خمسة ريالات (khamsa riyalat) - five riyals
ريال واحد (riyal wahid) - one riyal

These phrases will come in handy when you need to pay for something or ask for the price of an item. Practice counting money in Arabic to become more comfortable with using these expressions.

Cultural Insight[edit | edit source]

In Arabic-speaking countries, it is common to negotiate prices in markets and smaller shops. Bargaining is seen as a normal part of the shopping experience. So, don't be afraid to negotiate a better price when shopping in Arabic-speaking countries. It's also important to note that tipping is not customary in many Arabic-speaking countries, as service charges are often included in the bill. However, it's always appreciated to leave a small tip for exceptional service.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

Congratulations! You have learned the names of different currencies and denominations in Arabic. This knowledge will be beneficial when traveling to Arabic-speaking countries or engaging in business transactions with Arabic-speaking individuals.
