"Good evening" in Arabic

00:00:47 - 368 kB

Arabic is a fascinating language. Look how they wish each other a good evening:

Good evening!
Masaa al-khayr! ("evening of the good")

مساء الخير

And one replies:
Good evening!
Masaa an-nuur! ("evening of the light")

مساء النور


Hey, isn't that poetic? To reply a "Good evening" with a "Good evening of the light!"
I love it!
