Hassouni Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 So I want to make a video so that people can say all their hookah-related words correctly. This is my list, want to see anything added?

Zildjian Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 you make the correct videos, then I'll make the American version, much like this guy: http://youtu.be/A9stZQJmY8k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claytronmeans Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 They have some interesting words. My next door neighbors are Saudis, so it's really nice knowing some people who know how to speak the language as a first language.

Zildjian Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 on a serious note can you also put meanings with the words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claytronmeans Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Not directly related to hookah, but it's always nice to be polite: Shikran A'fuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, all of them should be fairly obvious since most are brand names, but for those that aren't sure.

Because that's a whole other subject...I'm not intending to include random vocab even Hookah-related (like, what the glass, shaft, etc are called), because it's not really much use, unless there's an overwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moki Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'd rather know translation, to be honest! But either way, keep up, I am looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Like I said most of them are brand names....It's like asking what Chrysler means - though some of them do mean things. Nakhla means palm tree, Temsaah means crocodile, and Elmas means diamond, among other things. Al-Fakher sort of means high-end or luxurious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claytronmeans Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 haha No lessons, however I feel as if those are two popular words that could come in very handy, if you came across some Arabic speakers and you were smoking with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
