Hello Katabah!
In this morning, I’m
learning Arabic about expression “How are you?” and its reply. It can be
translated into Arabic becoming “Kaifa haluk?”. Let’s see it in Arabic text
below:
كَيْفَ حَالُكَ؟
How are you? (For subject you, male,
singular)
بِخَيْرٍ
Fine
اَنَا بِخَيْرٍ
I’m fine.
بِخَيْرٍ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ
Fine, Alhamdulillah.
Sentence “Alhamdulillah”
is one of Islamic expressions. It means “Praise to God.”
اَنَا بِخَيْرٍ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ
I’m fine, Alhamdulillah.
كَيْفَ حَالُكِ؟
How are you? (For subject you, female,
singular).
كَيْفَ حَالُكُمْ؟
How are you? (For subject you, male,
plural).
كَيْفَ حَالُكُنَّ؟
How are you? (For subject you, female,
plural).
The main difference of
the expressions above is vocals of end of each stentence on word “haluk” (حَالُك),
i.e.: ka, ki, kum, and kunna.
