No thank you La shookran
Please moomkin

4-" amel eih " means what are you doing? or how do you do?
5-" eh " means what?
6-" endak ka kam sanah" means how old are you?
7-" lau samaht " or " min fadlak " means please!
8-" min " means who?
9-" bikam dah " means how much is this?
10-" ma3a lisy " means sorry.
11-" ma fisy " means not exist.
additional answer:
Ms. 6 was mistaken when she tranlsated where. it is not translated 'ana' , but 'aina'. because 'aina' means where and 'ana' means i or me. beware while pronounce 'aina' and 'ana' because if you mispronounce it, maybe you will say "im the hotel" when you want to say "where is the hotel?"
