“This meal tastes good!” in Egyptian Arabic

By Samar A. On Oct 28, 2024

In Egyptian Arabic, “This meal tastes good!” (the phrase) is written using the Latin script as:

El akla dy t3mha 7lw!

Using the Arabic script, it is written as:

!الاكلة دي طعمها حلو

(Editor’s note: Conventionally, in Egyptian Arabic “Meal” is Wagba / وجبة. But in this phrase, Akla / اكلة, which means “Food” or “Meal”, is used.)
