Another one is finjan-we call it pingan in Tamil and I was told by a Filipino sister that it is also the same word for porcelain in Tagalog. I loved when she kept emphasizing about the Islamic etiquette that is deep rooted in Emirati culture, a proof that Islam spread to South East Asia through the manners of the Muslim Arab traders, and it is surprising how we have a lot of things in common that has come from them.
The few Emiratis I have known have been the sweetest, gentlest, most gracious, most generous and most humble people I’ve known. Enjoyed watching you two.
I'm so glad you've met Emiratis who mirror what I've seen in Sakina and others. May you have the good fortune of meeting many more! And thank you for watching this video!
Truly found this video very informative. Living in this part of the world most of us find the Emiratis or the Qataris rather enigmatic and so this video helped us to understand the Emirati/Gulf Arab culture to some extent. Hoping to see more such videos. Thanks much for your endeavor.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts! I completely get what you mean about the sense of mystery-families here do value their privacy, which adds to that intrigue. I’m so glad this video helped peel back a bit of the curtain. I’m actually already on the hunt for a speaker who can dive deeper into the culture for a part 2, so fingers crossed! Thanks again for the encouraging words-totally keeps me going!
i love how light hearted like in a girltalk u brought this all with a lil smile,not all doom and gloom when discussing all the prejudice questions we want to know
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! We did want exactly that -- for it to feel relatable, like you were having a chat with friends. So glad you felt that vibe!
I love you because you are so amazing and beautiful and humble and just being yourself and I like realness of your culture I love your traditions and your lifestyle ❤ praise Allah for you ❤️🙏
I am so surprised as even us Tamil Muslims from the southernmost Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka also have the same culture of eating from the "sahan"-one big plate, especially during festivals and weddings.
Found the same. The questions were really annoying and disrespectful/insulting! Didn’t get past the 1st minute! Was really looking forward to the video!
@@eurekacomment5719 I understand why you felt that way - those questions do come across as abrasive. As I mentioned right at the start, I’ve been a tour guide for over a decade, and many people I’ve met legitimately have exactly these questions. So I’ve quoted the common ones upfront with the explicit goal of answering them constructively through the video. Thank you for your comment and peace to you!
I enjoyed the conversations, the culture. But It’s a thumbs down for the videography. Kindly do stabilise the video it would be helpful for the viewers to watch without a disturbing sight.
Thank you for watching! And your point is a valid one, I’ll work on getting a little better with every video with exactly this sort of guidance, so thanks for sharing it 🤍 onward and upward!
👇🏽What was the most surprising thing you heard on this video? Was there something you wish I'd asked?
OH WELL I AM SOOOO SURPRISED WHEN SHE SAID IT IS BETWEEN DOSA AND CREPE. Wooohoooo

@@ditchthesilver 👍❤ very well ladies. Ma sha Allah
I love you because you are so amazing and beautiful and humble and just being yourself and I like realness of your culture I love your traditions and your lifestyle ❤ praise Allah for you ❤️🙏
What a beautiful message, thank you for watching. My teacher Sakina will be really touched when she reads this!
Loved this. I"m going to try making chebab
That’s amazing, good luck! Cream cheese and date syrup are the best toppings 🤍
I think the lugaimat story really got me. It was so sad for something that brings so much joy 😢
Seriously. Willing myself to temporarily forget poor Lega before I meet my next batch of luqaimat again…
I love the thought of Sheikh Zayed. He was such a noble and loving man. A provider❤❤❤❤❤
Truly. May God rest his soul in peace. الله يرحمه ✨

Isn’t it fascinating! It stems from how Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to eat.
Oooh yes! I feel like Levantine Arabic can be a lot more romantic with its phrases and stuff. Sakina was a delight to watch ❤❤
Isn’t she? I don’t think I would have stuck through my classes if not for her - she always adds some extra cultural masala to all our classes 💃🏽
The anchor is irritating
Sending positive energy your way! ✨

The Emirati lady is so calm and welcoming and not intruding.
@@mervinpinto6186 Spot on! Sakina is amazing and so generous with her knowledge, that's what makes her a great language teacher too!
