Hello Maggie,
You said he is Syrian, then use a colloquial word which is "Wahashtni".
Thanx.

Thank you for letting me know the Syrian term, I recived a couple other answers but none of them sounded right, but wahashtni at least looks like it sounds correct. Hopefully someday he will get around to teaching me arabic, so I don't have to bother nice people like you all the time.
Thanks,
Maggie

Explanation:
I hope you can read the transliteration. It is a bit of a mouthful if you're not an Arabic speaker.
You can also say: Wahashteni.
I hope this helps.

Classical vs. colloquial


Explanation:
'Mabruk' (congratulations) for our colleague al-Hanash and for Maggie, but I have TWO comments for the sake of EVERYBODY:

1- We're accustomed in the proZ.com to classical, not colloquial, Arabic. The ONLY reason is that we have MANY different dialects in the Arab World. So, the term 'in the verancular' does not really work here.

2- As a Lebanese, or a Levant Arab (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, etc.), I can confirm to U that ' Wahashini' is Egyptian/Sudanese. It is, of course, understood by students of Egyptian schools/universities and/or watchers of Egyptian films.

Regards from Lebanon.
