awfa bi-wa'dih

Kept his promise

معنی

To fulfill a commitment or agreement.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In the Gulf, a man's word is often considered as binding as a written contract. The concept of 'Wajeb' (duty) is closely tied to fulfilling promises. Social etiquette (Mwajaba) requires that if you promise to attend an event, you must go. Failing to do so is seen as a lack of 'Wafa'. While 'أوفى بوعده' is understood, Egyptians often use 'الكلمة عقد' (A word is a contract) to emphasize the same value. The term 'Al-Amana' (the trust) is frequently used alongside 'Wafa' to describe the weight of a promise.

💡

The 'Bi' Rule

Always remember the 'bi' (بـ). Without it, the sentence feels incomplete to a native speaker.

⚠️

Don't Overuse

Save this phrase for important things. Using it for 'I promised to bring coffee' makes you sound like a drama queen.
