these words aren't so clear to me Ms. Najla, could you tell me what they mean in english?

I think you mean Kaman is (too), right?, if so then in lebenese they say kaman and kamane, both are the same and, either one you use is ok

but i don't know what you mean with Laken

yes dear Orwa kaman means too. aha ok i thought it will be different using kaman and kamena if its feminine or masculine.

and with laken i mean if someone is asking u something for example, and u answer no i don't want this, then the person will say shu laken? ( what then) Hope it's clear now

Yes, it is clear, it is Lakan actually, but i never knew that it could be lakane?, it couldn't be dear friend, and for Kaman, both are right in lebenese accent, so, you use either of them is right

Yes, ''alam fel me3dah'' means stomach-ach, but GENERALLY, Ta3ban/Ta3bana means sick or ill, so it works at any kind of helth problems

@kaka:
the one who said that separation makes lovers forget, bring him to me so he can see my situation with his own eye.. don't think that those who are away from the eye are away from the mind, I swear that I miss you and the heart's enduring!
