Alright guys so we're gonna see why Lebanese people are so good at sales and how they avoid the "no" (some things also include Arabs in general). Enjoy! Also tell me what kind of expressions you use or things you do for ambiguity! And let me know if you have requests, ideas or questions! Take care!

Yeah ... we have expression, when you meet somebody on street and greet him with " dze si " which means "where are you" while person is standing in front of you ))) Greetings from the Balkans 😊

@giacutie 4 года назад

I run ))) I really so hate lying, I either laugh, because I'm scared shi*less ))), I avoid answering, or I'm giving super-quick No to avoid them thinking/feeling through it all ))) I could also divert the subject, reply with a question back, so I intrigue, and distract hhh Love the video! Very funny ))))) **

In Iraq, we have "allah kareem" which means "god is generous". It means that because god is generous, he'll give you what you asked for. But actually when I answer someone's request with "allah kareem" this means "I'm not doing that bro 😂"

@Tayamiz 4 года назад

Same in Jordan 😂 basically it means if for some reason I became generous too I might do it.. But for the time being, Allah kareem 😂

haha omg me! when i was young, if i asked my mom to sleepover at a friend’s house, she would tell me ‘eh yalla boukra min shouf’ i would say ‘really? tomorrow!’ but she explained to me it doesn’t literally mean tomorrow in this context it meant in the future, some other times it would mean no or never going to happen😂 as explained in this video

@FreyjaCat 4 года назад

Yalla can either mean: let’s go/do it, never/go away(informally), or see you later(informally). The meaning depends on the type of context you’re trying to portray or show or even tell.

I'm an Indonesian, and my parents love to say: "Besok, besok." Besok (read: bé-sok) means boukra. And now 30 years have passed and nothing happens 🤣🤣🤣 and here in Germany when I say: "When God willing." my friend will say: "Of course He is willing! Now tell me what time!" 😅😅😅

Once in a discussion of how different cultures hustle in Dubai, Lebanese hustle was portrayed as that who tries to sell you pretty much anything and really makes you believe that it s amazing and a catch, no matter how available and standard it is. It was hilarious; examples: perfect most beautiful weather, the finest sand...hahaha Leaving the listener most anxious to buy immediately...lol

i would stay at Grandma when i was lilltle. we are Lebanese they spoke Lebanese all the time. She made Syrian bread in the ovnr at 5:00 am. Have not had bread like it since. She would dance for us all the time. The priest came to dinner every Sunday. He loved the raw lamb and wheat Kibbeh Nayyeh . She would make a whole platter and he would eat it with the Syrian bread with my grandfather (his name was Rezzella). Miss those days.... My favorite was Shish Barak.

@EpicLebaneseNerd 4 года назад

it is not simply the act of saying ''inshalla'' that means it is a polite no, it is the way that it is said, u can tell that there is a certain art of saying ''nshalla'' that the sayer can imprint on his receiver that he actually being nice and not saying no, but it is like saying ''don't hold your breathe'' , i don't know if it makes sense , but that is the way it is done since the stone age in lebanon and i think everyone just accepts it.

Hi Mark, I’m a big fan and I’m arabic! I couldn’t help but notice you forgot a way to avoid saying no, which my dad says all the time, which is, “الله كريم “. IF you’ve never heard it before, it’s similar to, "انشالله," so you can use it as well.
