    Outstanding dialogue, this was extremely useful! Are there any "perfunctory" Arabic expressions for accepting apologies or making apologies? Those are always useful to have off hand!

    Oh the PLC covers some good ones.

    Is regret - ندم ؟

    @tomest05, yes regret is ندم - Nadam and it's a noun here with a silent end. Nadima means he regretted.

    Regarding your first question about "perfunctory" Arabic expressions, I don't there are any actual words or phrases used but it's more like 'how' you say it. Like a child when you tell him to say sorry and they say it reluctantly.

    Ecellent lesson. Thank you.

    What nearet dialect is it?
    Gulf? Or just general colloquial?

    @Eni, if we had to specify the closest dialect then it is probably gulf because of a few words like أبغاك and ايش which are predominately used in that dialect
