How can I say " Forgive me" in Egyptian Arabic? I know how to say, "mu'ta asefa. / ana asfa giddan/ sorry kteer/ Sami7nee" ( I think in Morocco people say "Sma7lee" I'm sorry like in el Fos7a " asef/ asfa". I would like to know to say "Forgive me" and not just a simple sorry. Also how can I ask someone , " Are you mad at me?" I'm guessing it's "enta z3lan minee?" How can I say, " I'm fed up!" I have heard people say "Tafsht sara7a". How can I ask " What's wrong with you?" " Are you ok?" In the Sham regions people say "Eshbak/ Shou bak?" but I don't know how people say it in Egypt. "Maalak?" ( hhhh sounds like malak y3ani angel but when some people get angry they become like the devil LOL! xD I think it's important to just say I'm really sorry when people are mad at you, even if you didn't do nothing. Because once you apologize, that person can't continue to attack you. It's like you take away their weapon once you ask for forgiveness.

(ma lak) is the egyption way to saying ( ma bek ?) inClassical Arabic . egyptions just turend (bek) to (lak)..... You are good to know Egyptian expressions But I think you need to thinking about the difference of expression according to the different position.Egyptians express one meaning vocabulary greatly according to the different positions and the nature of the people who speak to.As an example (forgive me) can be ( sam7ny ) If I made a big mistake and can be ( ma3lesh ) if If I committed an intentional act and can be ( 3deha b2a ) If I request to forgive in a tone of pampered .... w3ayzk b2a tsla7ely elenghish elly 2olt beh elt3lek elly fat da ;-)
