On language #7

The Arabic ahlan wa sahlan (اهلاً و سهلاً) and “welcome” are both used as greetings to guests but “ahlan wa sahlan” seems deeper and more meaningfull. The same holds for لا which is deeper than the British “no.”

Edit:

اهلاً و سهلاً literally means something like: “among family and in ease.”
