SALAM Explanation: "Good morning" would be SABAH AL-KHAIR, but from my experience with my 5 1/2 year-old daughter, I know that is too much for a child, especially without constant first hand exposure to authentic Arabic pronuncition from early age (less than 8 months old). SALAM is so much easier to say, and quite commonly used by Saudi Arabians as an all-purpose greeting. Perhaps the boy can then teach your daughter a few more phrases. Let us know what happens. Fuad |

Other forms of greetings that would be easy of a 6 year old: Explanation: Marhaba = Hi, or Hello Keefak & Ezzayyak = how are you? Ahlan = Hi, or Hello Salaam = Literally means peace Salaam Alaikum = peace be with you The last one is a very common term in all Arabic speaking countries no matter what dialect is spoken there.

Sabah El-Kheir صباح الخير Explanation: Sabah El-Kheir is good morning in Arabic but I'm not sure if that's what's commonly used in Saudi Arabia.. And it means "Wish you a blissful morning:)" |
