PARTING WORDS

Remember that a lot of English and French words have been borrowed into colloquial dialects of Arabic,
so in some Arab countries, you will nd that a supermarket is referred to simply as a supermarket and a
taxi is simply a taxi. You might also need to go to a bank (maSraf ), which can also be referred to as bank.
And in the evening, you may consider going to the cinema (movies). If you do, have a good time! waqtan
