How do you say "I'm sorry I think you have the wrong number?" cause I just had a phone call from this guy who kept speaking Arabic and I told him I don't speak Arabic and tried to ask if he wanted to speak to my husband but he just kept on in Arabic - I tried to say "wrong number" but I can only remember "rakam" and not the word for "wrong" :banghead: Any help would be greatly appreciated inshaAllah.
And I also thought a thread for asking "how do you say..." would be a good idea for this forum inshaAllah :up:

Shukran :up: My baby is learning to speak Arabic in the egyptian dialect - she goes to a childminders for a couple of hours in the afternoon some days where everyone speaks Arabic - the childminder is Egyptian - and I have this friend who is egyptian as well, and she said that Ruqayya is saying words with an egyptian accent mashaAllah - she can say maya, baab, ummi and I think maybe one or two other things shes saying might be Arabic words, but not ones I know lol! I can't remember any off the top of my head though... they're random sounds to me lol
