Alright guys so we're gonna see why Lebanese people are so good at sales and how they avoid the "no" (some things also include Arabs in general). Enjoy! Also tell me what kind of expressions you use or things you do for ambiguity! And let me know if you have requests, ideas or questions! Take care!
Yeah ... we have expression, when you meet somebody on street and greet him with " dze si " which means "where are you" while person is standing in front of you ))) Greetings from the Balkans 😊
I run ))) I really so hate lying, I either laugh, because I'm scared shi*less ))), I avoid answering, or I'm giving super-quick No to avoid them thinking/feeling through it all ))) I could also divert the subject, reply with a question back, so I intrigue, and distract hhh Love the video! Very funny ))))) **
Don't forget, the Iberian Peninsula (Spain+Portugal) was ruled by the Moors (North African Muslims) for almost 800 years. I think they definitely left a mark😅
@@adelsaade7686 they are not hiding. They live here like everyone. They are honest and good workers. They came to Brazil after the war with Israel. And Interpol can access Brazil. We are allies of USA.
In Iraq, we have "allah kareem" which means "god is generous". It means that because god is generous, he'll give you what you asked for. But actually when I answer someone's request with "allah kareem" this means "I'm not doing that bro 😂"
This was my father to a "T". He died when he was 57 and left Mum with eight kids. BUT your mannerisms and expressions are dad all over. Thank you, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Margaret
Dude this is peak edutainment! Hilarious stuff, and it's good to know that my inability to say no directly obviously means I was Lebanese in a past life or something😆. Salute from a Haitian-American fan 😄🙌
Me as Arab I can’t do the “bukrra” and “inshallah” game with my little American kids 🤣. They reject these answers and they ask for specific date and time 🤣
haha omg me! when i was young, if i asked my mom to sleepover at a friend’s house, she would tell me ‘eh yalla boukra min shouf’ i would say ‘really? tomorrow!’ but she explained to me it doesn’t literally mean tomorrow in this context it meant in the future, some other times it would mean no or never going to happen😂 as explained in this video
Not just them, the moment my partner or Arab friends go, InsyaaAllah, I’d say: Give me a time and we’ll confirm it now. They never expect that to come out from me. 😳😳😳
My husband is Lebanese, everything is “Tomorrow”! I always ask him to give me a date!😂😂 also like when he says anna jayyi, I’m coming! That could mean I’ll be there in 5 minutes, an hour, tomorrow, next week!😂😂
I'm an Indonesian, and my parents love to say: "Besok, besok." Besok (read: bé-sok) means boukra. And now 30 years have passed and nothing happens 🤣🤣🤣 and here in Germany when I say: "When God willing." my friend will say: "Of course He is willing! Now tell me what time!" 😅😅😅
Yalla can either mean: let’s go/do it, never/go away(informally), or see you later(informally). The meaning depends on the type of context you’re trying to portray or show or even tell.
Once in a discussion of how different cultures hustle in Dubai, Lebanese hustle was portrayed as that who tries to sell you pretty much anything and really makes you believe that it s amazing and a catch, no matter how available and standard it is. It was hilarious; examples: perfect most beautiful weather, the finest sand...hahaha Leaving the listener most anxious to buy immediately...lol
I am a Dane and we are very direct. I know many refugees from Syria and they all have difficulties when they have to say no, and they have to do so again and again, because of our direct approach. Then they try to get around it they cause confusion and anger...
Especially in arabic office like imigration. Rejecting level in arabic: Level 1 : after thing بعدين Level 2 : tommorrow بكرة Level 3 : after tommorow بعد بكرة Level 4 : next week بعد الأسبوع Level 5 : next year سنة جاي Infinite level : sorry معليش Or you can add if god will ان شاء الله to make more epic and religiously
OMG THIS IS SOOO INTERESTING . SO SO AMUSING IM ITALIAN AMERICAN BORN AND LIVING IN BROOKLYN MOST MY LIFE. BUT ARAB AND ITALIAN CULTURE IS AMAZINGLY SIMILAR. IVE BEEN TO ABOUT 6 or MORE ARAB COUNTRIES AND I ADORE THE KIND HOSPITALITY IVE ALWAYS ENCOUNTERED LOVING THIS !!!!! MARK HACHEM IS BRILLIANT✝️❤️❤️❤️❤️⚡️🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️✝️✝️
it is not simply the act of saying ''inshalla'' that means it is a polite no, it is the way that it is said, u can tell that there is a certain art of saying ''nshalla'' that the sayer can imprint on his receiver that he actually being nice and not saying no, but it is like saying ''don't hold your breathe'' , i don't know if it makes sense , but that is the way it is done since the stone age in lebanon and i think everyone just accepts it.
😂😂 wow! I can relate so much to this. It is funny how you make things that are in our norms feel wierd 😂, cuz we do those gestures without thinking about it but this video outlines it all! 😂 Just except for one thing. To me atleast, InshaAllah leans towards yes and is almost always ensuring it is yes. Everything else is just perfect representation! 😂😂
i would stay at Grandma when i was lilltle. we are Lebanese they spoke Lebanese all the time. She made Syrian bread in the ovnr at 5:00 am. Have not had bread like it since. She would dance for us all the time. The priest came to dinner every Sunday. He loved the raw lamb and wheat Kibbeh Nayyeh . She would make a whole platter and he would eat it with the Syrian bread with my grandfather (his name was Rezzella). Miss those days.... My favorite was Shish Barak.
Salam Mark I really enjoy your videos especially those with you and Nico hehehehe... I’m Algerian American and we have sooo many similarities in our Arabic with Lebanese, Yemeni, and UAE dialects. It’s really interesting and fascinating, please continue to make these awesome videos, I just wish I could be part of them and do some that shows the similarities and differences. Bgheet Takul kaffff 👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽
Hi Mark, I’m a big fan and I’m arabic! I couldn’t help but notice you forgot a way to avoid saying no, which my dad says all the time, which is, “الله كريم “. IF you’ve never heard it before, it’s similar to, "انشالله," so you can use it as well.
😂😂😂 yeh yeh that takes me back when I was a kid growing up in the 90s when I used to ask my parents if I could ride my bike thay will say yeh yeh then I'll hop on my bike then that will say noooooooooooooooo !!!!!!! Very loudly omg the good old days
Hellooo! There is not a single video i watch that I don't enjoy! Can you please make a video about how lebanese think that they know better than doctors and start prescribing medications to their relatives and neighbors? 🤦🏻♀️
Example: you ask your parent to go to the park he says "inshallah will go to the park on Saturday Ahmed" (which means you will probably go to the park but like in 4 months.)
@@alaaazem8096 I think that *IRAQ* have made it's own version of expressions based on his long great history. we even still using some *SUMERIAN* words like " *cha* " which means " *my love* ". in our daily conversations! Selam to Palestine ♥

Hi Mark,
We use these expressions in Syria as well especially, bukra and Inshallah
hhhhh lol
The more I watch your videos, more I realize how similar Lebanese and Brazilian people are!
Middle Easterners are very close to Latinas/os and South Americans too.
I can attest to that
Don't forget, the Iberian Peninsula (Spain+Portugal) was ruled by the Moors (North African Muslims) for almost 800 years. I think they definitely left a mark😅
We have the most numerous populations of Lebanese outside Lebanon and second numerous Palestinian outside Palestine.
Lebanon is full of corrupted people ... they go and hide in Brazil because interpol can't get them there :p
@@adelsaade7686 they are not hiding.
They live here like everyone. They are honest and good workers.
They came to Brazil after the war with Israel.
And Interpol can access Brazil. We are allies of USA.
I love how you keep the Lebanese culture alive. We need more people like that
Check Matar TV channel, he is also a Lebanese and make videos like this too
Parent: When will you open you book and study?
Me: Inshallah, I will study.
*Knowing fully well that I will procrastinate it till the last moment*
Quit copying me!!
@@shinigami-kc1un ok
Ps:quit copying my actions and way of living. I too procrastinate till the last moment, should've worded it better
Boukra boukra bedros😂
And then you're like god dammit it's too late anyways I'm just gonna go to bed
In Iraq, we have "allah kareem" which means "god is generous". It means that because god is generous, he'll give you what you asked for.
But actually when I answer someone's request with "allah kareem" this means "I'm not doing that bro 😂"
Same in Jordan 😂 basically it means if for some reason I became generous too I might do it.. But for the time being, Allah kareem 😂
This true
This was my father to a "T". He died when he was 57 and left Mum with eight kids. BUT your mannerisms and expressions are dad all over. Thank you, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Man! Thanks a lot 😁 After 7 years living in an Arabic country I finally realised why it takes so long to get anything delivered.

you forgot "yalla"
"Yalla": the polite way to say never
@@hibye2420 that is so true
Yea I was just gonna say that cz it's the word we all use 😂
Yalla can either mean: let’s go/do it, never/go away(informally), or see you later(informally). The meaning depends on the type of context you’re trying to portray or show or even tell.
Hi Bye 😂
Your voice is so soothing. You made me miss my home country even more than I already do 🇱🇧❤️

CREEPING DEATH That would be an interesting video to watch 🤪

Even I feel the same way 😂
The more I watch your videos the more I realise how deeply ingrained certain Arabic mannerisms are within me and I didn't even know it
Nice one mahn💯🔥🔥🔥
May you do a video on how and what Arab people say or do to show affection
Yeah. "Now now" in my culture literally means, "be patient"🤣
😂
That Sales technic to say no is Useful ! 👍
Boukra mn chouf 😂🇱🇧❤️

Eh eh hala2 ill like the video yalla nshalla i wont forget boukra boukra
bas actually lol this video is really accurate great job it was pretty real
me as a child
me- "mama, can we go to the park today?
mom- Inshallah ya habibi
me- -_- ...ok
4:53 "eh eh yalla halla' 'a rasi"
We use "Ahorita" the same way in Mexico, as Halla'. It literally means: right now, or it can be later depending on the emphasis
Tbh Mark is my fav youtuber I’m a hardcore pewdiepie fan but I still think marks vids are more entertaining
hahaha love it.You are so funny! thanks for sharing
Loved this! Familiar too!
Me: *asks my dad a question*
My Dad: *inshallah boukra*
Me: when is inshallah
My Dad: *I SAID INSHALLAH*
I like the painting behind you
Look at me not listening to anything you were saying 😂😋
Hey Marc, could you maybe do a video comparing different Arab dialects ?
Perhaps you'd like to experience the "Eeh La?" (اي لا؟) expression used as confirmation but obviously you notice something is wrong :D
Heyyy I'm an Egyptian fan and literally I LOVE YOUR CONTENT EVERYTHING IS TRUE 😂😂😂😂
But not all tho ☹️
Pure Lebanese facts!😂
I love your videos! please keep up the good work habibi!
