	tomest05 says Mon 7th Apr 08@02:15 am ما شاء الله أكل هذا المطعم يبدو لذيذا جدا تعلمت كثيرا من هذا الدرس اتمنى ان سيوجد مطعم مثل ابو زاد في الامريكا. حين اسفر لندن، سوف اكل فيه ما اسم الحي في لندن؟ ما عرف لندن جيدا. شكرا لهذه نشرة What a wonderful episode, it's great to see more participants and teachers as well! I was wondering maybe a supplement PDF for expressions like: "2 more teas, please" "Bon Appetite" expressions to complement the restaurant/chef. Particularly the "more" part. I've heard various ways to say it... Perhaps you say "مزيد 3 شي،لو سمحت" Not sure. Thanks!
	Ehab says Mon 21st Apr 08@11:36 pm أهلاً تومز نحن مسرورون لأنّ الفيديو أعجبك, هذا المطعم ممتاز جداً, نتمنى أن يقوم أبو زاد بفتح مطعم مثله في أمريكا, بالمناسبة, المطعم في لندن شيفرد بش Shepherds Bush We normally say after food things like, al7amdolellaah (Thanks God), or Sa77a w 3aafyeh (good health for you), and if you want to complement the people of the place, just say (ya36eekom al3aafyeh – God gives you good health). I noticed you’ve used the word more as it is in English, like saying (مزيد 3 شي،لو سمحت) where I see the translation for it (three more things please) which makes sense in English, but in Arabic, it does not.. The best way to ask for more things, let’s say three more dishes of rice, we say: لو سمحت , أريد ثلاثة أطباق رز كذلك By the way, (أن) takes present tense after it, I noticed you used future tense in the fourth Arabic sentence above :). Ahlan again and always keep it up tomest05. Salaam
	lw1 says Mon 19th May 08@03:01 am I so had hoped that you would also have the English translation written with the Arabic word. Personally, I learn best when I can also reenforce the Arabic with the English written translation. Thank you for this fantastic web site. I am enjoying it immensely .... Salaama :coolsmile:
