معنی
To be the first to say hello or offer a greeting.
زمینه فرهنگی
Initiating the greeting is seen as a sign of 'Karam' (generosity) of the soul. It is believed that the one who starts the greeting is free from pride. In countries like Syria and Lebanon, initiating the greeting with 'Ya'ateek al-afia' (May God give you health) is a common way to 'bader bi-s-salam' with workers or shopkeepers. In the Gulf, the 'Salam' is often accompanied by a nose-rub (Ma'shama) or a handshake. Initiating this is a sign of deep respect for tribal elders. Egyptians often use 'Sabah el-fol' or 'Sabah el-ashta' as variations. Initiating these cheerful greetings is key to 'breaking the ice' in crowded Cairo streets.
The 'Bi' Rule
Always remember the 'bi'. Without it, the sentence feels incomplete to a native ear.
Smile!
In Arab culture, 'initiating the greeting' is often paired with the phrase 'Tabassum' (smiling), which is also considered a charity.
