Hello all! This week we've got a lower intermediate lesson especially for you listeners with a head for a bargain! Wherever you are in the world you're sure to find crafty salesmen and over priced goods and that certainly is no less true in Middle-Eastern countries. Learn those all important words needed when buying and more importantly learn how to haggle with salesmen and get the price you want (or at least closer to the price you want!!). Expect to hear some bargaining tips from the hosts' own experiences too. Tune in for all this and more!

Dear Mohamed or Ehab, What term do you use to ask whether the item you are buying is genuine or not? Is it 9a7y7. Shukran.

If you mean, is the product original, then you could use أصلي (A9ly) which means Original.

A9ly for originals, but if you wanted to describe non-originals or fake/copied products you can use تقليدي (Taqleedy)

These two words are quite important and are widely used

Maal is the general classical word for money, you can used it instead of foloos if the conversation is classical.
