PASS ME THE MILKIn formal Quranic Arabic, the word for milk is actually laban لنب - however, apart from Egypt most of the Arab world would typically use 7aleeb حليب for milk and laban لنب for yoghurt! So be careful when you ask for milk in your tea.If you›re at the table and you want to ask someone to pass you the milk, you can try saying some of these phrases:
Can you pass me the milk please?mumkin a3Teeni al7aleeb law sama7t?
كن أعطين احلليب لو حمست؟ م
Excuse me, pass me the milk please?law sama7t, a3Teeni al7aleeb?

احلليب من فضلك؟
The milk, please? (f)al7aleeb min faDliki?
