Since yesterday’s post was about Saudi grocery shopping I thought it would be appropriate to have this month’s Saudi Arabic post to cover some of the key staples one is likely to purchase when grocery shopping:
Soup shorbah
Rice ruzz (long “u” sound)
Buttermilk laban
Coffee qawah
Tea shai (vowels are like a long “I” sound)
Water ma’ or moyah
Sugar sukkah
Milk haleeb
Juice aseer
Cheese jubnah
Butter zeb’dah
Cream kreem
Meat laham (commonly used to reference beef)
Fish samak
Fruits fawakeh
Vegetables khudarwat or khudrah
