5. أرجوك. = Please.
Manners are a must everywhere you go. And Saudi Arabia makes no exception. Saying “please” the right way and at the right time will open many doors in your path. To pronounce it in Arabic, you simply say:
أرجوك.
6. شكرا لك. = Thank you.
Mothers are the best thing that ever happened to us. Not only did they raise us, but they also taught us basic manners like saying “thank you” in the proper contexts. Following their example, here’s how to say “thank you” in Arabic:
شكرا لك.
7. على الرحب و السعة. = You're welcome.

على الرحب و السعة.
8. ‫من فضلك!‬ = Excuse me!
We only need 7 seconds to make an impression that may last a lifetime. And sometimes, the only difference between a good impression and a bad one is just a simple “excuse me”. Listen to how it's pronounced in Arabic:

Did you know?

Arabic landmark

Arabic is an official language in 22 countries that form the Arab League, but the language is also spoken regularly in 7 more countries where there’s an important Muslim population. Muslim people worldwide, even though they are not Arabs, learn Arabic as well because Arabic is the language of Islam. As a result, Arabic is widely spoken in Pakistan, Indonesia, Iran, Spain and Malta. It is estimated that, in total, there are over 300 million Arabic speakers worldwide with only 200 million speakers living in the Arab World stretching from Southwest Asia to Northwest Africa.
It is important to know that there are two types of Arabic. There’s a Classical Arabic language called الفصحى (Fus-ha), the language in which the Quran, the Holy Book of Islam, is written. This is considered to be a formal type of Arabic which laid the foundations for Modern Arabic. Classical Arabic is still widely used today in writing, but less when speaking. The good news is that Modern Standard Arabic is similar to Classic Arabic, but easier. This is the language you’ll see spoken on television or written in most newspapers and modern Arabic literature. This is the form of Arabic you’ll be learning with Mondly.
