By osamabawab

Good Morning,

Few days ago, one of my friends involved in a minor car accident, and he faced a problem in understanding what the other Arabic speaking guy was trying to say.

So let’s learn today some words which is commonly used in such situations.

Words:

Hadis = Accident = حادث
Shorta = Police = شرطة
Shorty = Policeman = شرطي
Esaaf = Ambulance = إسعاف
Sayara = Car = سيارة
Galtan= Guilty = غلطان
Hezam Aman = Safety belt = حزام أمان
Saddam = Bumper = صدّام
Ta’meen = insurance = تأمين

Letters:

ر = Raa = R
ز = Zai = Z
س = Seen = S

Enjoy your day!

SA: u r right, but I intended to use "hadis" not "hadith" so that ppl don't mix between "hadith" and

"Hadeeth" = converse = new.

FS:

"Shorta and shorty" are not exactly the same as english coz the "t" has to be pronounced like in the hindi word (Matlab = Meaning)

Takaful = Solidarity (which is the islamic way of insurance)

Is shorta and Shorty pronounced in the same way as English Short-a short-y?

Is Takaful also means Insurance?
