Ahlan bekom!

The other day, Hazem made a sound file in which he pronounces the various ways how to say "welcome" and "hello". (We remember, there are several forms for male and female in singular as well as for plural.) OK, let us listen here and read below the greetings line per line:
Welcome = مرحبا (Marhaban)
Welcome (sg. fem.) = مرحبا بكى (Marhaban beky)
Welcome (sg. masc.) = مرحبا بك (Marhaban beka)
Welcome (pl.) = مرحبا بكم (Marhaban bekom)
Hello (sg.fem.) = أهلا بكى (Ahlan beky)
Hello (sg. masc.) = أهلا بك (Ahlan beka)
Hello (pl.) = أهلا بكم (Ahlan bekom)
Another Way to great someone is :
"Peace be upon you" = All-Salaamu Alaykum .
Response "and on you be peace" =Wa Alaykum all-Salaam.
Goodbye "go in safety" = Maa as-Salaama.
How are you? =Kayf al-aal?
Fine, good, well =Bi-khayr
I'm fine=Anaa bi-khayr.
God be praised!=al-hamdu li-Llah! (said in response to question How are you?)
and you? =Wa anti/anta?

It is very cool to hear =)
I must say that the melodie of arabic reminds me a lot on my own mother language, Portuguese!
This was something that always made me mad with German, the melodie is from another world for me. For me is still very hard to "talk in a german melodie".
But Portuguese and Spanish as well were under arabic influence for over 700 years and our Lexika have more than 20% of words derived from arabic! The melodie is easier for me to catch. I would like to hear more =)
MAXIE I DO NOT SEE THE PROG ANYMORE AND IT CRASHES MY PC =(
Could you locate it on Putfile.com?
And make a link to open.
Made a picture, too, for the loudspeaker, but now, seeing yours, I think that yours is much - much better! You did it great!
At the moment I cannot upload to putfile, because they have maintenance work there. So far I will link for the sound files to my webspace and fix that later.
