معنی
A common greeting for holidays, birthdays, or new year.
زمینه فرهنگی
Egyptians almost exclusively use 'Kull sana wa inta tayyib'. The word 'tayyib' here means 'good' or 'kind-hearted'. It's used so frequently that it's often said very fast as one word. In Lebanon and Syria, you'll often hear 'Kull 'am wa inta salim'. The focus on 'Salama' (safety/health) is a beautiful cultural touch wishing the person protection. In Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the phrase is often followed by 'Min al-aydeen' during Eid. It's common to kiss on the cheeks (among the same gender) while saying this. In Morocco and Algeria, while 'Kull 'am...' is understood, people often say 'Aid Mabrouk' or 'Saha Aidkoum' more frequently for religious holidays.
The Response is Key
If you want to sound like a native, don't just say 'Shukran'. Always say 'Wa anta bikhair' (and you are well) back. It shows you wish the same goodness for them.
Social Media Etiquette
On Facebook or Instagram, it's common to post a picture of a crescent moon or a cake with the caption 'Kull 'am wa antum bikhair' to greet all your followers at once.
