as salaamu alaikum.

Okay, i'm gonna post some sentences here that I really want to say in Arabic when I meet with the Muslims. Inshaa Allah I may return for Umrah again soon and I am hoping I can attempt speaking al lughtal Arabia when I am there. :)
It would be helpful if you are able to post the Arabic text and the transliteration in English letters (to help me with pronunciation)
And others please feel free to add sentences and queries..

Jazakamullahu khair.

So, how would you say ...

Have you been for Umrah?

Have you been for Hajj?

How many times have you been?

I have been x times...

I want to go again...

I am going again...

I went with my family.

I am going with my family.

Remember me in your duas.

Forgive me for Allah's sake.

Ayah

Have you made umrah/hajj? = Hal anta/antee a3malt(ee) umrah/hajj?
How many times have you gone? = Kam marrah dhahabt/dhahabtee?
I have been there [to mecca] once [just wanted to make up some number to make the sentence complete]. = Ana dhahabt ila mecca marrah.
I would like to go there again [a second time]. =Uhibbu an adh'hab ila hunak marra thaniya.
I am going again. = Ana hadh'hab ila hunak marrah thaniyah, insha Allah.
I am going with my family. = Ana had'hab ila hunak ma3 ahlee, insha Allah.
I went with my family. =Ana dha'habt ila hunak ma3 ahlee.

once= marrah
twice= marratayn
3 times= thalat mar'rat
4 times= arba3 mar'rat
5 times= khamas mar'rat
6 times= sitta mar'rat
7 times= saba3a mar'rat
8 times= thaman mar'rat
9 times= tisa3a mar'rat
10 times= ashar mar'rat
11 times= ih'da ashar marrah
12 times= ithna ashar marrah and so on.... so when you pass 10 times, you use the term "marrah" rather than "marrat"
