First pictures of my 430 Scuderia

Tarek, saw and heard my first Scud at Ferrari of Central N.J. this morning. What a magnificent beast! BTW yours looks much better than this yellow one did (not that I'd kick it out of my garage).

Expand the minds of us foreigners (seriously): what do mashallah and shoukran mean?

Speak up. This isn't P&R, you know.

TIA,

David

 

mashallah - by the grace of god
shukran - thanks
shukran jazeeran - thanks very much
afwan - welcome
bint - girl
akhi - friend
ta'al hena - come here
imshi - go
kalb - dog
arnab - rabbit
kurra kadam - soccer
maiyah - water
ya'ani - meaning
ba'ad - after
wahad - one
yom - day

 

mabrouk - congratulations

 

Thank you. I pasted these into a vocabulary file.

In the context, i sort guessed that mashallah would be something like "thanks be to God."

 

Maasha-Allah literally means: as per Allah's (God) desire.
We say it to prevent envy while expressing our admiration of someone or something.
Regards.

 

And this, if I may say, is a great purpose for saying it--to help prevent envy but also, if I understand your meaning, acknowledging that it is within the scope of Allah's will (or desire, to use your word choice). Actually, even the word "will" is a little tricky. I'd prefer "purpose." (I am a technical writer by profession and get caught up in the shades of meaning of words.)

The use of these expressions is something I admire about Islam--words such as Insha'Allah or Maasha-Allah--always appreciating or at least acknowledging Allah in things that might happen and things that have happened. As long as one stays close to the meaning and intention, using these words is a great habit, IMO.
