Egyptian

In Egyptian Arabic light is نور (nūr). It is the word used when you turn a lamp on or off, as in اقفل النور (iʾfel en-nūr), “turn off the light”.

The usual way to say “of course” in Egyptian Arabic is طبعاً (ṭabʿan). In casual talk Egyptians also say أكيد (akīd), “sure”.

In Egyptian Arabic, say أهلاً (ahlan) for hello and مع السلامة (ma’a es-salama) for goodbye. Friends often use سلام (salam) for either one.
