what do you teach people?


When other Arabs find out i'm of iraqi origin they make me teach them words as if it were a whole other language lol One of my best friend's words is "a7'athta 3ala saf7a" LOL

These are some of the words that fascinate others:

3aathoora
shakoo maakoo
ya ba3ed 3omrey :p
cha6al
bayenbaa3' (who uses this tho?)
7'ashooga

What are the words you usually tend to teach others?
