About Me
- marianne
- Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
- The views and comments on this blog are my own and in no way meant to be disrespectful towards the UAE or any person / persons. These are merely my observations and opinions, usually to be taken with a dash of salt and some tequila
South African-isms and other slang ...
Here's a list of words that some of you may not understand, I'll try my best with the translations
Lekker - loosely translated as "nice", though it's more like "HELL YES, that's good".
Gallas - and arabic word that means enough / finished
Habibi - arabic, means darling/sweetheart/lovey/sweetie
Inshallah - arabic, "god willing", and they will use it in every possible and impossible situation. Mostly when you feel so frustrated you can scream
Braai - a BBQ
Nogal - "none the less"
Stoep - veranda-type area
Mugg & Bean - South African coffee shop franchise of which we have two here in Abu Dhabi
Hamdulla - Arabic expression meaning "thanks be to God"
EWAB - Extreme Work Avoidance Behaviour
