*Girls, if you are meeting your mother in law or sister in law or in laws in general, or even family of friends, here are some nice appreciated sentences within the Egyptian culture:
When you hug your mother in law/or a woman friend... you look at her and say:
Eih el halawa deeh?
What is all this beauty?...
and to your sister in law you can say:

Ezayek ya gameela?
how are you, beautiful?...

And if it is your father in law you just say 'Ahlan ya Uncle!' ..or 'Ahlan ya Ammy' ...(no hugging)

Always in respect to older people, as an example meeting the mother of an Egyptian friend you can call her: Tante...or Ya khalty....(meaning auntie)

And to an older man : Uncle or Ya Ammy!

If you are taking a taxi, you say to the driver: sabah el kheir ya Ostah...el Maadi men fadlak...
Or Al salam Aleikum ya Ostah Masr el gedeedah men fadlak ( to Heliopolis please)
Or
salam Ya ostah, el Mohandeseen men fadlak...
and when paying you say: Motshakereen ya ostah ~ many thanks driver...

*In arabic, Happy Birthday:

Kol sana wenta taieb...we o'bal meet sana...

Which means: wishing you a happy year - to a man- and wishing you live 100 years!!
And...you can sing him a song:

'sana helwa ya gameel' 'sana helwa ya gameel'...sana helwa ya habibi /or....the name/.... sana helwa ya Gameel!!!

*If you are in a situation with your Egyptian Man and things start to get a bit out of hands, he is upset, you misunderstood each other etc..etc... the best 'Egyptian' way to handle this situation is by saying:

habibi ~ netkalem ba'dein...
darling let's discuss it later...

And even if you are boiling with rage...control yourself and ask him if he wants something to drink!

A'mellak shay ~ habibi?

Most kind Egyptian men will calm down, after these few words!

*The situation...
Some kids are screaming around you and driving you crazy...so I suggest the following:

You clap your hands and say:

Ya welad ( children)
aiza aollokom haga mohema ( I want to tell you something important)~

And you say:
Alashan entom shotar khalless ya helween, kol wahed feekom hay saedny fi haga ~

Because you are so efficient my beautiful ones, each one of you will help me in doing something...

This way you distract them ~ in Arabic ~ which will amaze them...probably stun them...and also you will make them feel good about themselves by giving them a task...

If things get very out of hands, and you want to reprimand them you can say:

'Eli mesh ha yo od saket, ha yet'aqeb' ...

The one who is not going to stop will be punished...( and be ready to do so of course1)

And always a good word:

Khaleekom helween ya habayby ya shatreen ~
Be nice, my loving smart ones...
On an individual basis:
Khaleek helw ya habibi...enta shater ( for a boy)
Khaleeky helwa, ya habebty, enty shatra ( for a girl)

*Sabah El Kheir ya Banaat: (Good morning girls)
Sabah El Kheir ya welad (Good morning guys)

Hata'amel eih el naharda [OR] el yom? ( what are you going to do today ~ masculin)

And you can also say it with a question mark:
