List all the ways to say....Hello or Goodbye

[jayrag123]

The Arabs have many ways to say hello or goodbye. I believe if you study arabic this is one of the first things you need to know. So I believe we should list all the various ways to say this in Fusha or dialect arabic.

"Asalamu Alikum Wa Rehmatullahi Wa Barakatuh!"

Ahlan (wa sahlan) = Hello
Ma'assalama = Bye

 

[jayrag123]

aHlan wa sahlan- welcome

aHlan bikum - welcome

 

[marwen]

Marhaban => Hello
Ila'liqa' => see you

And what about

Allahafiz = may God be your Protector (a good bye)

 

[marwen]

Fi Amanillah => good bye, (I leave you in the protection of Allah)

 

[Masuma]

Khudahafiz= may God be your Protector (yeah I know, just changed the initial word imsad)

 

[marwen]
