Help with tranlating English to Arabic please!

Hi,
I'm a new member!
I know this is early, but I would like to include some eid gifts to some special people with someone travelling to Lebanon soon.
Can anyone help me to write out a few short phrases?
1: "Happy Eid, mama"
2: "Happy Eid, tayta"
3: "For the poor"
Thanks in advance for any help!

1: "Happy Eid, mama"
عيد سعيد ماما

2: "Happy Eid, tayta"
عيد سعيد تيتا

3: "For the poor"

من أجل الفقراء
Or you can write:
للفقراء

Ms. Belly Dancer: The only thing I would like to add is that "mama" means mother, or mum. Given that, would you rather translate it to صامتة?

Ms. belly dancer · 09-13-2007, 04:51 AM

Thanks Matt for your interesting adding.
صامتة means silent(female)= samitah.

Example:
Faten fatatun samitah.
Faten is a silent girl.(obviously):D

well I don't know the word for mother, so what I mean is should the arabic word for mother be where you have currently got the translation for mama?

The word mother in arabic is: أم
my mother = أمي
the mother = الأم

We use ماما in a slang. But أم (umm) it's in a classic arabic.
