I wanted to say "basic." "Something...basic." Oh, what is the word? Sahal means "easy," but that's not what I want. Screw it.
shi haja...basit.
Fatima and I said the word in unison. But I said "simple" in Turkish and she said "simple" in Arabic. It was like magic. These cognates really do make my world go round.

There are quite a few silimilarities between Turkish and Egyptian Arabia dialect, though most are loan words from Romance languages, otobüs/otobis, montaj/montaj, asansör/ansanser, fatura/fatura, hesab/hesab, marhaba/marhaba. Basha (pasha) and bey are also common honorifics in Egyptian Arabic and come from Turkish.
