    I say a few in arabic. M she means walk so when my kid walks slow I’ll hurry her along with m she m she. The other day I made rice which is riz in arabic.

    My daughter asked tonight about how to say the word pineapple and my husband laughed and said “I don’t know. Pineapple?” And she said that’s funny because a lot of languages say blank" and he said “that’s the one. You said it perfectly”. He doesn’t use arabic often only when speaking to his parents.

        You say it exactly how I wrote it. My means water. Hummus forget it because we don’t have the letter or mouth muscles for such a sound in English. The closest is when you go out in the cold and you huff to see “smoke”. That’s the sound it makes.
