Episode 61 – Skit: anniversary dinner

Layal and Nadim go to a fancy seafood restaurant in downtown Beirut to celebrate their 10-year wedding anniversary. Layal has second thoughts about going to such a pricy restaurant but Nadim convinces her that such a special occasion is worth it. They take a table overlooking the sea and discuss the extensive menu before ordering.

ليال: ياي يا نديم هيدا من أغلى مطاعم السمك ببيروت! مأكد انو بدك نتعشى هون؟

Layal: Wow Nadim, this is one of the most expensive seafood restaurants in Beirut! Are you sure you want us to have dinner here?

نديم: أكيد عم نحتفل بالسنة العاشرة سوا! أقل شي نحتفل بهيك مطعم. بعدين ليكي شو حلو محل طاولتنا.

Nadim: Of course. We are celebrating our 10th anniversary! The least we can do is celebrate in such a restaurant, besides look how nice is the location of our table. 

ليال: عنجد حلوة كتير القعدة مقابيل البحر. شكلك حاجز من زمان لتاخد هيك طاولة.

Layal: Indeed, the setting is very nice facing the seas. You seem to have booked a long time ago to reserve such a table.

Marhaba! ("Hi"!)
