Imagine that your foreign friend came to pay you a visit here in Egypt, and wanting to get a good feel of the country, they ask you to translate to him/her every single word being uttered around you.

Let’s put ourselves in this friend’s shoes and hear the translation of some expressions that are only saved for us, Egyptians:

1) Ya Ard E7fazy Ma 3aleky 

Walking down the street, it’s quite common to hear….

2) Enta Nayem 3ala Wedanak?

If your friend is staying at your place, there is no way he/she are going to miss your parents shouting to you …
