na3iiman/نعيماً!/Bon bain in Lebanese Arabic (Levantine Arabic?Levantine Dialect)
Channel: Globetrot With Arabic- Levantine Arabic / Lebanese
Date: 03/03/2020

In this short Lebanese Arabic conversation (Levantine Arabic/Levantine Dialect), you will learn the following short conversation:

What are you doing?
I've just come out of the shower. I am drying my hair.
"Blessed shower".
May (God) bless you.


Na3iiman/نعيماً!: Is a very commonly used word/expression that we use to bestow blessings unto someone who's just had a shower. It is one of these Arabic words that are difficult to translate into English, due to it's uniqueness in the Arabic language. Na3iim, literally means bliss or paradise, that's why when you say na3iiman, it's a way to bless someone after their shower. In French the closest translation would be "Bon Bain".

So next time you see someone with wet hair walking out the shower, say to them, NA3IIMAN! :) 
And they shall respond: 
Allah yen3am 3leek (m)/3layke (f)!

The best tip I can give you at this stage is, always write down what you hear and repeat sentences and words out-loud. This is essential in memorizing new vocabulary and achieving fluency as well as native-like pronunciation.  And remember, repetition is key!

Enjoy your lesson :D
