Syukron, polite pharmacist. Thanks for share Egyptian dialect. How are your people in Egypt? I've heard some bad news from Egypt. Hope the best for Egyptian.

 

Thanks and don't worry, Oussama. I'm quite familiar with Arabic, I can understand what polite pharmacist says. But here in Indonesia, may be I often met some frase written like this : (may be this is what you mean standard Arabic?)

Hello = أهلا = ahlan
good morning = صباح الخير = shobahul khair
good afternoon= مساء الخير = msaa el kheer >> I just know this. hehe, may be spoken: masha 'ul khair, right?
how are you? = كيف حالك = khaifa halk
We are of course Muslims also use an islamic greetings = السلام عليكم = assalamu'alaykum
I'm = أنا (ana) ....

fine= بخير، كويس (bekheer/ kways) >> I just know this

... thanks god= الحمد لله ( alhamdulillah )
أنا بخير الحمد لله = I'm fine thanks god (ana bii khair, alhamdulillah)
Thanks= شكرا (syukron)
you are welcome= العفو = afwan

 

Am I right? Afwan also means "sorry", right?

Glad to know you guys.. let's be my Arabic partner ^^

Hi guys,
Osama, it's 2 words only I think that I had written in dialect ( كويس & العفو ) but no problem ^_^

Retno, yes (massa 'ul el khyer) is correct according to the grammer (مــسـاءُ الخــيــرٍ)
and (afwn) = sorry too, that's right.
Good job, Retno and welcome with you :)
