Common Phrases
See All Arabic Words Common English to Arabic translations
Hello
مرحبا (marḥaba). The most universal greeting. For a warmer, more traditional hello, use السلام عليكم (as-salāmu ʿalaykum).
Thank you
شكراً (shukran). Add جزيلاً (jazīlan) for "thank you very much": شكراً جزيلاً.
I love you
أحبك (uḥibbuk) to a man, أحبكِ (uḥibbuki) to a woman in standard Arabic. In everyday Levantine you'll hear بحبك (baḥebbak / baḥebbik).
How are you?
كيف حالك؟ (kayfa ḥāluk) in standard Arabic. Egyptians say إزيك؟ (izzayyak), Levantines كيفك؟ (kīfak) and Gulf Arabs شلونك؟ (shlōnak).
Good morning
صباح الخير (ṣabāḥ al-khayr). The classic reply is صباح النور (ṣabāḥ an-nūr), "morning of light."
Welcome
أهلاً وسهلاً (ahlan wa sahlan), the warm welcome you'll hear in homes and shops across the Arab world.
Translation Tips
Tips for better English to Arabic translations
Keep sentences short and simple
Machine translation handles short, clear sentences best. Split long paragraphs into separate sentences and translate them one at a time.
Arabic changes with gender
"You" and many verbs change depending on whether you're talking to a man or a woman. If it matters, check the result or ask a native speaker which form to use.
Translations come out formal
Most translators produce Modern Standard Arabic, the language of news and writing. It's correct, but it isn't how people talk at home in Cairo, Beirut or Riyadh.
Double-check anything important
For tattoos, legal documents, medical text or religious wording, always have a fluent speaker or professional translator confirm the Arabic.
