Monthly Saudi Arabia Arabic – November 2009

Grocery cart

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
