!مبروك! كلو بمجهودك

 
(Editor’s note: The literal translation of “You did it on your own!” is 3maltha wahdek! / !عملتها وحدك but wouldn’t be conventionally spoken in Tunisian Arabic. In this type of situation, instead, Kollou be majhoudek! / !مبروك! كلو بمجهودك which means in English, “It’s all your effort”, would be expressed.)
 
“Are you excited to travel on your own for the first time?”

Mit7ames bech tsefer wahdek le awel marra?
