The general belief is that Egyptians use a mixture of numeral symobls and alphabetical letters to communicate (A7a, 5od Etc.)
Its rather simple
We speak arabic
Instead of translating we use slang language by using numerals to represent certain vowels and letters so when read outloud they sound exactly like the arabic version of the word
We dont speak gibberish , its just slang

BadLT, do not post a reply to this. Only English is permitted on the forums. You might get a warning/infraction if you post something in Arabic on here.

No, by claiming that the MAJORITY of forums don't know about your language is stereotyping.

Can you prove otherwise?
I dont see how that's a bad thing , its not exactly something well known outside the confines of the egyptian society , i didnt know about it earlier myself , its not directed towards a certain group , its directed to those who didnt know or had a slight idea
Besides its a friendly message

The word a7a is said when something weird happens. In Palestine we don't use this word, it's mostly used in Egypt.

I advise you not to learn Arabic... Every country has a different dialect and different words in different situations.
