Did you know? The number two has its own special rule in Emirati Arabic. 🇦🇪

When you have exactly two of something, add “-ain” (ـين) to the end of the word.

Why it’s special:
English just says “two chairs” - the word “chair” doesn’t change.
Emirati Arabic changes the word itself. No other number does this!

Because one “sorry” is never enough. 😅 Here’s your Emirati Arabic apology toolkit:

Esmu7a: The casual “forgive me” - your go-to for small slip-ups.

Saam7ni (m) / Saam7eeni (f): “Forgive me” - personal, heartfelt.

3adirni (m) / 3adireeni (f): „Excuse me” - for interrupting, leaving early, or small inconveniences.

Ilma3dira: The formal one. Use it at work, with elders, or when it’s a serious apology.

Esma7li (m) / Esma7eli (f): “Allow me / permit me” - polite, respectful. Great before interrupting or entering a room.

Metaasef (m) / Metaasfa (f): The emotional one. For when you’ve genuinely hurt someone or broken a promise.

💬 Watch Maryam & Ibrahim have a real, natural and simple conversation.

Phrases you’ll learn:
Mar7aba – Hello
Esh7alek / Esh7alech – How are you?
Alhamdulillah, bikhair – Good, praise be to Allah
Kel shay tamam? - Is everything ok?
