Arrow Learn Arabic (Basic Phrases)!

I thought you guys might be interested in learning some Arabic basics, like everyday conversations ... I will put everyday some sentences & phrases and if someone has a question I will do my best to answer

Hi! Salam! سلام

Good Morning! Sabah el kheer صباح الخير

Good Afternoon/ Evening! Masaa el kheer مساء الخير

Good Night (when leaving) to a male ==> Tosbeh ‘ala khair تصبح على خير
Good Night (when leaving) to a female ==> Tosbeheena 'ala khair تصبحين على خير

Good Bye! Ma’a salama مع السلامة

See You Later! Araka (Araki for female) fee maba'd أراك في مابعد

How Are You? Kaifa haloka/ haloki (female) كيف حالك؟

I'm Fine! And You? Ana bekhair, wa anta? (wa anti? for female) أنا بخير وأنت؟

Thank You (Very Much)! Shokran (jazeelan) شكرا *جزيلا

You're Welcome! Al'afw ألعفو

What's New? Maljadeed? - مالجديد؟

Nothing new! Lashai jadeed لا شيء جديد

How is everything going? Kaifa taseeru al omoor? كيف تسير الامور؟

Hey Friend! Ahlan sadiqi/ (sadiqati to a female) أهلا صديقي/صديقتي

I Missed You So Much! Eshtaqto elaika/ (elaiki to a female) katheeran إشتقت إليك كثيرا (not that the "th" of katheeran is pronounced as the "th" of the word "think")

Take Care! E'tanee benafsek/ (benafseki to a female) إعتني بنقسك

Welcome! Ahlan! (or) Marhaban أهلا, مرحبا

note that the the tick (') is used to refer to a letter which doesn't exist in English, the closest pronouncition to this letter would be a soundless "a", let me know if you need more clarifications!
