We made syrup out of fermented fish. عملنا من الفسيخ شربات

Egyptian expression; used when you have something terrible and make something really good out of it. “I’m sorry for how messy my room was.” “Oh, I cleaned up, rearranged everything, and hung up curtains.” “Wow! It looks gorgeous, you made syrup out out of rotten fish.”

You're not owed an invitation. مالكش دعوة

Egyptian expression; used when you wanna tell someone that it's none of their business- like they're not welcome to chime in. "Soooo, how's it going with your new guy?" "I don't want to talk about it." "Why not?" "You're not owed an invitation."

Our day isn’t passing. يومنا مش فايت

Egyptian expression; about a day where one meets one problem after another. “We went to the company and paid for he card but then we had to go somewhere else and get it recharged and they stole our money so we called the police and had to go back to the company and we eventually just lost.” “Aw that sucks.” “Yeah then we got home hoping it would work, and it turns out the phone is locked so it was all useless.” “Damn!” “Yup, and then my burn started to itch and I had to wash my clothes and really just wanted to disappear.” “Sounds like your day wasn’t passing.”

Know your friend and mark him. اعرف صاحبك و عَلِم عليه

Egyptian expression; basically means to know and differentiate between your real friends and your so-called friends. "I told him someone I loved just passed away and that I had a super difficult day today and that I don't have a lot of other friends since I'm new here and he really didn't care." "Well, you need new friends. Know your friend and mark him."
