Each time, two Lebanese persons meet, this is how their conversation starts for around half an hour (and it gets on my nerves!):
P1: Hi
P2: Kifak?
P1: Mni7?
P2: Kello Tamem?
P1: Cava?
P2: meche l 7al?
P1: Bien?
P2: Good?
…
And it keeps going like this to cover all the “How are you” synonyms in all known languages until one of them surrenders (shame on him) and says:
‘Mni7 w enta?’
Common people! Listen to each other and try acting interested in knowing the answer!
