Did you know?

تَوّا tawwa (now, right away) comes up constantly: تَوّا نْجِي, I'm on my way… a right away that's often rather elastic.

To raise a problem without sounding aggressive, open with سامَحْنِي same7ni (excuse me) before setting out the issue, then thank them in advance: يْعَيّشِكْ ya3ichek. A tradesman or repairer will often promise تَوّا tawwa (right away): read that as soon: stay patient and follow up politely if you need to.
