Excuses You Hear From Jordanian Parents When Something Is Expensive

Jordanians get creative with excuses when they want to dismiss buying something because of its price. We’re going to list for you some of these classic excuses:

1. “Twakal 3al Allah m3alem” people say this sentence when they are not very satisfied with the price.

2. “Bakhod lafe w berja3” this excuse is a big lie, because no one ever comes back.

3. “Law ma3i ha2a ma betla2ini hon” this is one of the most used excuses.

4. “Tzakaret 3andi metelha” this is a good excuse for someone who cant afford 10% of the shirt’s price.

5. “Allah yerz2ak m3alem!” when the person doesn’t even have time to think of an excuse.

6. “Keep this here, I have to do something really quick and I’ll be coming back to get it!” LIES.
