With the weekend coming up, I thought it would be great if we know how to describe in Arabic the food that we are going to enjoy very soon:

ladhiidh - delicious
kathiir at-tawaabil - spicy
haamid - sour
hulw - sweet

Mr. Osama, please add more info, as before, or please add the local terms used, if any. Thanks!

Good luck to you as well, Laafonte! I'm sure you would eventually still find some uses for the Arabic you've learned here in Doha.

It's great to be able to speak Arabic as you live in an Arabic country. Well done dpatrick! Unfortunately for me, I won't have time to do it any longer. I will be leaving very soon. I've got 'Mastering Arabic1'by Jane Wightwick. If anybody is interested, send me a message.

Good luck everybody

Thanks, Mr. Osama. Pronouncing the letter "h" is really something that we, English speakers, have to get used to.
