Now for the tea of our host!

Today I learned a word that will increase my survival-potential significantly if I am ever plonked down in an Arabophone country:

شاي (tea)

All I need to learn now is "please" and "thank you" and I'll be all set to get on a plane and go!

thank you - شكرآ (shukran)(the alef is wrong at the end, I couldn't find the one that I needed)

please - min fadlak (if speaking to a male), min fadlik (if speaking to a female) or lew samahat (male), lew samahti

I did remember shukran from my Arabic tapes last summer, but I didn't know how to spell it. And I think I got to "please" right around the time I quit! Why do you spell it shukraN if it ends in an alef?

Thank you for all your Arabic help! :)
