Apropos of The New Yorker article below, a doodle of the iconic dandy I did a while ago.

"Kull sanah wenta Tayyib" (كل سنة وانت طيب) is an Egyptian Arabic phrase. It is used as a birthday greeting/wish. It literally means: "every year and you are fine/well."
If you're addressing a female say: "kull sanah wenti Tayyibah" (كل سنة وانت طيبة).
In Standard Arabic, the same phrase is, "kullu sanah wa anta/i Tayyib/Tayyibah".
Another phrase, that you could use in Standard Arabic to wish someone a happy birthday is, "kullu 3aam wa antum bi-khair" (كل عام وأنتم بخير). It figuratively means: "may you be well throughout the year."

A Song from The Film: "Cairo Time"...اغنية من الفيلم: وقت القاهرة
Bismillaah
Assalaamu 3alaikum wa Sabaa7 el Khair (السلام عليكم و صباح الخير)...Peace be unto you and Good morning
Hi Readers:),
I'm not a big fan of romance films, so last year when I saw this film I was a bit surprised that I actually liked it...I mean, it has become one of my favourites now!
The genre of films that I am fond of are: dramas (especially true stories), "clean" comedies, suspense, thrillers, cartoons, martial arts (especially the ones made in Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan), horror, etc. Oh, and I don't only watch Hollywood movies, because I like to learn about different cultures...are there any Bollywood and Nollywood lovers out there? Just say: "meeeee!"
For those of you who may not know
Bollywood and Nollywood are the informal names for the Hindi and Nigerian film industries respectively.
I don't know what the film industries in Iran, Afghanistan, or Latin America are called, but I like watching films from those regions of the world also....and of course I looooove Caribbean films!
I have drifted from the topic....back to what this blog post is supposed to be about. If you've seen the movie: "Cairo Time" starring, Alexander Siddig and Patricia Clarkson, you may have heard the remarkable song: "Ahwaak" playing in the background. This is a vintage Arabic selection, and it's sung by none other than, Abdel Halim Hafez عبد الحليم حافظ, who is known throughout the Arab world for his talent.
"Ahwaak" (اهواك) means: "I love you" in the Egyptian/Cairene dialect of Arabic. Anyway....I hope you guys enjoy this number, InshaaAllah.
Here's the URL for the song on Youtube:

Before I go, I'd like to teach you guys a few words in Arabic...

Feelim/Aflaam (فيلم/افلام)- film/s; movie/s
*Suwar Mutaharrikah (صور متحرّكة )- motion pictures; movies
*Literally "suwar mutaharrikah" means: "moving pictures".

Until the next time, InshaaAllah, keep well and stay safe dear readers!;-)
Wassalaam 3alaikum wa Yawm Sa3eed (and Peace be with you and Happy Day),
Sam.
