Bedeutung
States that something has significance or value.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Egyptians often use 'ده مهم' (da mohem) in a very fast, rhythmic way to emphasize points in a story. In the Levant, 'هادا مهم' (hada mohem) is often followed by 'كتير' (kteer) instead of 'جداً' (jiddan). In the Gulf, 'ضروري' (daroori) is often used interchangeably with 'muhimm' when referring to social obligations. In Morocco, you might hear 'هاد شي مهم' (had shi mohem), where 'shi' means 'thing'.
Use 'Jiddan'
Arabs love emphasis. Adding 'jiddan' (very) makes you sound much more natural.
Gender Check
Always check if the thing you are talking about is feminine. If it ends in 'Ta Marbuta' (ة), use 'muhimmah'.

The Hook
Use 'هذا مهم' to pause a conversation and make sure people are listening before you say something big.
No 'is'
Trust the nominal sentence. Don't go looking for a verb to connect 'this' and 'important'.
