Wonderful Place

This entry tells the story of my experience dealing with the social phenomenon that occurred in Egypt. Every society has its own culture, including the Egyptian population. I was grateful to put one house with an Egyptian friend named Omar, I have learned much about the culture of Egypt from itself.

Each morning wake up from sleep and going to the bathroom, when I lock eyes with Omar, there is always a word that comes out as a ‘sweetener’ lips and respect him, “yes ful shobahal bisbis” which when translated is “good morning like a rose whose beauty O bisbis “, Omar often called me to say it was because the Egyptians difficult to pronounce words that have the letter “sy”. A smile is always on his lips every time he was greeted in the morning. The morning after cleaning the body and when you start work, sometimes

Yesterday, when I was with Mahmudi on the way to Darrosah, home to the Al-Azhar Masyikhah (building for the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar university), suddenly there was a traffic cop while wearing full uniform and helmet menyegat car we were traveling. I am a bit surprised because a few weeks ago there was the same event that caused the police caught our friend Omar, my mind will wander less something good happens.

It turns out when we stopped the car, she was asked, “nafa ‘Al-Azhar?”, “Down the road of Al-Azhar?”, In unison we yawab “aiwah”, “yes.” Immediately, Mahmudi who lets the police had to drive to get into the car. Initially we were ‘clumsy’ to open a conversation and suddenly the policeman asked “hadrotak min Fein?”. This question makes me more respect by the Egyptians.

Use of the word “hadrotak” is a word used to honor someone. If interpreted “hadrotak means” to the honorable. ” Educated Egyptians often use this word if she felt called to a more intelligent, richer, older and more so the other as a form of respect. Greetings were meant “to your esteemed from where?”. The Egyptians are the most like “mujamalah”, unctuous words. This phenomenon seems to have become their culture, especially educated people. I say this because there are people who are not educated attitude towards others, especially foreigners it is very annoying even if the ‘kill’ was kosher, I sometimes want to ‘kill’ because it was so very bad attitude and disrespectful.

Yes, the Egyptians are known to act sweet words. Me and Omar every morning was always greeted with sweet words and sometimes I laughed at myself if interpreted language, when he greeted me by saying “yes ful shabahal basya”, I and my friends said “shobahal ‘origin fandim yes”, “Good sweet morning like honey, dear boss. “
