يشرب الشاي

yashrab al-shay

Drink tea

意思

The common action of consuming tea.

🌍

文化背景

Tea is called 'Atay' and is prepared with green tea, lots of mint, and sugar. It is poured from a height to create bubbles. Tea is the national drink. 'Shay Koshary' is a popular way to prepare it, where tea leaves and sugar are placed in a glass and boiling water is poured over them. Tea is served in 'Istikan' glasses. It is very strong, dark, and sweet. It is often served after every meal without exception. While coffee is very important, tea (often with saffron or cardamom) is served alongside or after coffee during social gatherings. Tea is often served with 'Maramia' (sage) or mint, especially in the winter to keep warm.

💬

Never refuse the first cup

Even if you don't want much, accept the first cup of tea to show respect to your host.

🎯

The 'Al-' is key

Always use 'Al-Shay' when talking about tea in general to sound more like a native speaker.

⚠️

It's hot!

Arabic tea is served at boiling temperatures in thin glasses. Hold the glass by the rim to avoid burning your fingers.

💡

Sugar is default

If you don't want sugar, you must say 'bidun sukkar' (without sugar) immediately, as it's often added during brewing.

常见问题

10 个问题

Yes, 'yashrab al-qahwa' is perfectly correct.

It is masculine. So we say 'ash-shay al-akhdar' (the green tea) using masculine adjectives.

In MSA, 'أنا أشرب الشاي'. In dialects, 'أنا عم بشرب شاي'.

Say 'شاي بالحليب' (Shay bil-haleeb).

It's better to finish it, but leaving a little at the bottom is acceptable if you are full.

To aerate the tea and create a foam, which is considered a sign of a well-made cup.

You can say 'Atanaawal al-shay', but 'Yashrab' is much more common for A1 learners.

It is becoming more common in modern cafes, but traditional tea is always hot.

It is the most popular variation: tea with fresh mint leaves.

Say 'ممكن شاي أكثر؟' or simply 'كمان شاي، لو سمحت'.
