Speak and Translate

A tourist in Dubai, wide-eyed and eager, holds up their phone. "Shukran," they say carefully, pointing to the screen. "Speak and translate, please!"

A local smiles. "Mafi mushkila, habibi! Khalik fahal, let's see..." They tap a few icons. "Yalla, try it now."

The tourist's face lights up. "Sabah al khayr!" The phone buzzes. "Ma salama!" it replies in a cheerful Dubay accent.

"Wow!" the tourist exclaims. "This is amazing! Shukran jazilan!"

The local laughs. "Afwan, sadiqi! Welcome to Dubai!"
