صَباحُ الخَيْر
Salma
This is a beautiful phrase. Literally, it means 'morning of goodness'. We use it all the time for good morning. Say it with me: صَباحُ الخَيْر.
Salma
It has some of the great sounds we learned. A heavy 's' at the start, a chest-breath in the middle, and that scratchy throat sound in the second word. Don't rush it. Let it flow. صَباحُ الخَيْر.
