I find it a cook 'quick-an-dirty' trick to start speaking/writing with locals without worrying much about proper grammar (which is EXTREMELY complex)
- _samihasan_ 10y agoWell, "أهلاً بكم" which means "Welcome" for second person plural in English is transliterated into "Eskéndereyya" as "ählan bekom". Note the umlaut mark on the letter "a" as it's a Hamzat Qaŧў همزة قطع and should be pronounced with glottal stop. Of course, in colloquial speech across many dialects, it softened to just a plain "a".
