worry! Go ahead and tell them where you are from!

that, there is not haggling in supermarkets so if you stay in the normal shops, don't worry
about it much. I can't haggle very well either haha.

CULTURAL INSIGHT
Egyptians don't understand the concept of personal space. Expect people interfering in your
business ALL the time and asking you what you're doing, where you're going, why you're
here, etc.. It might have it's cons, but it also has its pros. For example, if you look lost or in
trouble, you will find many people asking you if you're okay or if you need help. Don't worry,
you'll get used to it!

CULTURAL INSIGHT
Learning how to say the time in Egyptian Arabic is important. Don't worry though, it's very
easy! Just use the word el-saa'ah meaning o'clock then say the number in the feminine form.
For example if you want to say: "It's 4 o'clock," you can say el-saa'ah arba'ah and so on.

CULTURAL INSIGHT
A very indirect and polite way to be vague about where you are going is using the expression
rayeh meshwaar. Rayeh means "I'm going," and meshwar, which is the important word we
want to learn here, means "something you need to take care of", without saying exactly where
you're going. The listener will understand that you don't want to give more information about
your destination.

CULTURAL INSIGHT
When asking for directions, the smartest thing to do is ask a shop owner, for many reasons.
The first reason is that shop owners are usually standing outside the shops, especially when

the weather is hot, and also because they will most probably know the area. Always
remember to start your question with law samaht to sound polite and grab the listener's
attention, before you ask the question.

A useful word to know, when you're being asked if you have something, is beyethayya'lii,
which corresponds to "I think so." Use it when you're not sure whether you have the thing in
question, but you think you probably do. It can be used in many other situations just like its
English equivalent.

CULTURAL INSIGHT
To sound more delicate and caring while saying that you don't have something, such as a
tissue, it sounds very natural to answer laa, wallaahi meaning "No, I swear". It implies that you
want to help by giving the requested item, but you can't because you just don't have it.

CULTURAL INSIGHT
In Arabic, the word that translates to "to like" and "to love" is the same; it's the verb yhebb.
How do you know which one they mean then? The only way to know which one is intended is
by context. But usually, if it's followed by a person's name, it probably means that you love
them, so be careful about using it in that context! It might cause misunderstandings.

CULTURAL INSIGHT
Try not to use the verb bakrah meaning "I hate" a lot, as it will give off the impression that you
are a hateful person, because this word in Egyptian Arabic has a very strong nuance. To be
safe, avoid it and use mesh baheb meaning "I don't like".

CULTURAL INSIGHT
Numbers and prices on bills and receipts in Egypt are almost always in English, so always
check that you are paying for what you ordered exactly. Take into account the 12% taxes
added to orders in restaurants and coffee shops, and it's always a nice gesture to leave 3 to
10 pounds as a tip.

CULTURAL INSIGHT
Even if you feel overwhelmed by the new culture and all the new people you meet every day
in Egypt, don't isolate yourself from people and stay alone at home. Make an effort to hang out
with your new friends as much as you can, because that is the best way to learn a country's
language and culture and have fun at the same time!

CULTURAL INSIGHT
Talking on the phone in a foreign language can be very intimidating and confusing at first, but
it's okay to tell the person on the other side that you are a foreigner, and ask them to speak
slowly. You could say momken tetkallem berraahah shwayya? meaning "can you speak a bit

slower?" People will gladly do that, and will probably try to add in some English. It's important
to start the conversation in Arabic, however, to give the impression that you are willing to
make the conversation work to get the information that you want.
