the funniest shit here was him asking God for forgiveness everytime he curses in Arabic 😂😂
استغفر الله !!! 🤣
Hahaha
The things you miss when you don’t know the language. FUCK!
Astaghfirullah! Tauba astaghfirullah.
Yo I noticed that too he’s right Arabic curse words are bad yemeni is even worse we add to it 😂
When I was in high school and we had exchange students, one of the first things we learned were each other's swear words. At one point in my misspent youth, I could curse like a sailor in 11 different languages lol!
It's legit the best way to bond as races haha
That is very white of u. I learned each others culture. We used music as our connection.
@@fc-qr1cy I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear that was a little joke. Obviously we discussed history, customs, music,art,etc etc. Btw, cute you think I'm white lol
@@fc-qr1cy watchu talkin about? im indian, in college i used to hang out with malaysians, sudanese, ugandan, arabs, iranians, and we all used to learn each other's swear words. telhasiteez bro! lol
Loool that was funny 😄 😆 🤣. Spot on
This is so true. I was translating a novel from English to arabic.
And there was a scene where two enemies were cursing each other. The swearing when translated to arabic was so weak and just hilarious, the readers said they sounds like two innocent children fighting over something simple and not grown men hating each other.
That sounds so cool! Who are you? (haha honestly curious)
can you give us the name of the novel?
@@yousseftrabelsi9991yes I would love to know as well!
I love this story!! 🌼 I wonder, did you end up tinkering with the insults to make the point?
We are still waiting on the name of the novel! ⏰️😂⏰️
As a saudi, the accuracy is sooo hilarious and the fact that he didn’t try to cover the words has made it so much better that any other show
The way he just kept saying it over snd over again madd hilarious 💀.
Delivering his set in English makes it seem so superficial and rudimentary.
@@dr.g3860 What? I hope that means he performs a very unique excellent performance Doc. Lol
You' re a saudi guy ?
@@izzati.888 no I studied a lot of different middle eastern countries because I wanted to really understand their culture without all the false negatives the United States portrays.
What's more scary is that he barely scratched the surface of the Arabic curse words 😅
Had a good friend growing up from Lebanon, he told me some REAL DOOZIES that I was hoping would make it onto here...but Mo Amer is correct, Arabic insults are on a whole other planet in terms of their specificity and their sting lol
And there's dialects as well.
@@NateBabbs as a lebanese i can confirm it get soo much graphic especially Lebanese curse words
Can we a few good ones?
@@smallworld707here's a classic levantine curse: "kess ekhtak bi ayre". meaning "my d**k is in your sisters V**na".
As a Polynesian married to an Arab, this is so hilarious and very, very educational. So on point about the Arabic curse words, which I heard repeatedly as the guys mock each-other... my first introduction to Arabic. My mother-in-law was so shocked/horrified at the accuracy to which I could curse back!
Wow she cursed at you?
@@nabeelhakeem3593 No no! Shes a lovely woman & would never! She overheard me talking to my husband and his siblings. They enjoy mocking each-other.

@@yt-sh just be yourself and the right one will gravitate to you 🥰
He's right.. English curse words got nothing on people who are bi-lingual...often curse words hurt more in a different language 😅😂
yea bro no one use cursed words in arab countries
@@omarpro1495 in friend groupes they do in public never. Most fights here start because one guy not close to them curses them in arabic which is really offensive. if u yk each other well its meh.
How can they hurt if the other person doesn't understand then? You can't have bi lingual curse words, they don't cross over (exactly).
@@kurtsudheim825 that's the point 😂😂😂😂.. You just look stupid not understanding what the other person is saying
True. English curses sound cute compared to Kinyarwanda's, in my experience...
As an Arabic student, this was more helpful than my classes.
😂😂😂😂

Why are you learning Arabic
@@zambarottacannavaro1384 why not
@@zambarottacannavaro1384 maybe ho wants to work in Saudi Arabia or something
"Fuck your DNA!"
Definitely a keeper.
Love it!!!!!
My favorite Arabic curse is one that says "I wish they slept" which means I wish your parents slept instead of f.cking the night they fu.ked and had you.
What would anyone really do to deserve that deep a curse 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This one is hilarious. I think it’s going to be burned into my brain forever. Might come in useful
Yeelan tarikhak... my new favorite curse phrase will be using it in my next argument ;)..
LMAOOOOOO
As an arab, Arabic insultes scared my soul that I ever get offended again lol
@@Azoz-oz not all? I m north African and our accent is already harsh so combined with insults is really a big deal and a lifetime trauma.
@@Azoz-oz well here too! The tribal character is the most arab thing I ever witnessed even tho we as northafrican don't live inside our tribes ect or form our lil communities but still that character shows up in insults but tbh those aren't even the worse, northAfrican are so vulgar in their insults than the other Arabs. The social stereotypes also play an important role in the intensity of the insults so I guess here comes the difference.
5:19 “I seek forgiveness in God” but then proceed to curse someone’s entire DNA 😂
“Beteezak broo” Hahaha 😂

@Prof. Severus Snape it's actually 'go sleep' but apparently youtube disagree
@@sus6788 yeah you're right it means go sleep
Bro he only scratched the SURFACE with those curse words. We go waaaaaay deeper
As an Arab I always found that English swear words very weak...while in Arabic you can get very creative as it's not just swear words, it's complete swearing sentences full of obscenities and graphic details towards the other guy's mother, sister, wife..
Same here Moroccan Darija and Amazigh curses are way too vulgar
But sadly... Why are those curses aimed at women ?? Ain't that good tho. Its kinda degrading sometimes.
@@izzati.888 nope they're aimed at everyone no matter the gender where I'm from lol
@@m00nchxld8 yeah i know its meant to everyone. But what i'm saying are the curse words/sentences. It involves mums, sisters, or wives which are clearly women. I personally don't like the curse word motherfucker tho, its like a word that downgrades women and mums. But still i'm okay with the word fuck. Its my personal thought, just my two cents.
@@izzati.888 get a load of this guy

Spanish has lots of colorful curses! I'm sure I only know the tip of the iceberg, but my favorite so far is "I shit on everything that moves." 😂
Wow ... that's a good one...😂😂😂
Wow that Spanish sounds like English
😂
I work with a lot of Spanish people and two phrases get thrown around a lot, by men and women, mind you, like it's nothing: "Me cago en su puta madre" and "a tomar por culo".
@@EchoEcho-q4r
It’s obviously the literal english translation of the Spanish, duh🥴
PS: It doesn’t sound like anything. There is no sound when you reading words🥴
Yiddish cursing is unique. For example: "May you grow like an onion with your head in the ground." "May you lose all your teeth except one to give you a toothache." "May you run to the bathroom every three minutes or every three months."
Do you have a short and graphic one? lol
Lmao these are hilarious 😂😂
@@NRELDN90no-one who speaks Yiddish would ever want to be short and to the point 😆
I’m taking notes!
In Yoruba, a common curse is oloriburuki, which can be translated to “Your head is rotten”
This is still entry-level curse, but very few English curses will match that intensity
Respectfully, Oloriburuku in yoruba means "unfortunate person" ori in this context is not Head but destiny. So it's more like someone with a terrible destiny or luck, an unfortunate person.
@@mobolajigbadegesin441 You are correct here.
I interpreted it literally, as it is often used among A2 speakers. Native speakers will soften it by saying "Unfortunate person" as they would use Alagabagebe to mean "Hypocrite". However, among A2 speakers, we often break the word literally in which case it will mean "Your head is rotten/bad/spoilt."
With the Alagabagebe example, it will literally mean "One who uses a ladder to climb ridges".
I hope this made sense, and thanks for sharing this insight with me. I only understood the word from the other meaning.
@@mobolajigbadegesin441 I am not Yoruba though, but I think it still means the same thing. Ori is head and head could stand for destiny right? So someone with a bad/rotten head is someone with a bad destiny.
Orie baje is very perfect for your head is rotten.
I got a free random lesson here on Yoruba.It's sad to say I may fit that description of the word(though I'm trying to change that as my young years slip away).
I am laughing so hard and keep saying “astagfur Allah” with him 😅🤣
His Arabic translation is way polite than the actual cuss means lol
Circassian from Jordan here:
Our hellos:
How are you? How's your mom, how's your dad, how's your sister and brother and your neighbor, and your neighbor's brother?
Our goodbyes:
It's early! Why are you leaving so soon? We're gonna have coffee (proceed to stay another 20 min). Attempt another goodbye: Salem 3la (say hi to) your mom, your dad, your sister and brother and your neighbor, and your neighbor's brother.
Don't get me started on the goodbyes! I personally suffer from these 😭
I'm just started to think about curse words in the circassian language and it's so hard to exaplane the actual meaning
Bro in Arabic, you can straight up curse the next 30 generations of someone's family

Being a Saudi I can confirm this is just the basic level of cursing.

Always the greatest part of learning another language :) In Danish, we don't do disses very well, but we specialise in providing guarantees of what would happen if we didn't speak the truth.
Examples include:
'kraftedeme! "may cancer consume me!"
'edderbrodereme' "may venom embroider me!"
'fandengaleme!' "may the devil scream my name!"
Wow. Didn't realize Danes were so emo. 😂
Arabs have something like that " may Allah turn me blind or paralysed if I lie"!
" I swear I saw this with my own eyes, May worms eat them up if it is not true!
You killed me😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh no... hearing someone scream those words out would be legendary for me.
@@boxingelfis1499 Yeah, we are also aware of how ridiculous they sound because, in almost all other aspects of life, Danish people are much more understated. We sometimes invent our own ironic versions too, like 'Gudfuckme' "May God fuck me" (based on the English word 'fuck') or 'Svigermorsnavme' "May my mother-in-law French kiss me"
guess I'll start learning Danish, sounds like a badass language, and yup, i did scream (fandengaleme) in my Arabic accent, cool bro..
I reckon older versions of English had some impressive curse words/phrases, "A plague on both your houses".

The arabic language on itself has an incantatory, almost hypnotic quality that begs to be heard rather than read felt more than analyzed. it wants to be chanted out-loud to sound its music in the ear and on the tongue.
yes, Jesus isn't Issa because Jesus is fake.
You sound like a professor. ✌️
It really does now that I think about it! I
Beautifully said. And when Arabic is sung, it's transcendent.
That was fucking brilliant. I remember an Iraqi college buddy of mine who taught me "Khara Alayk" which he translated to "Shit upon you". It's kind of the reverse of the greetings he was quoting in the video "May peace be upon you" "and may SHIT be upon you" 😂😂
lol exactly! or my mum (she had a potty mouth but told me off if i swore in english lol) would say koly khara which means eat sh1t
I'd recommend "Khara beek" .... More effective in my opinion
iraqi are the most romantic and poetic accent at the same time you will hear the worst and most disgusting insults from iraqis mouth, so beautiful 😂
I love this. *with a serious and grave face* may shit be upon you my child ...

Greetings from India! English swear words are almost cute in comparison - not only in terms of what they mean but how they sound as well.
I can swear fluently in 4 languages, and recently added some Arab, Telugu, Tamil, and Punjabi swear words to my extensive repertoire at a clinical rotation with other doctors. A sophisticated cultural exchange, indeed. :)
no sanskrit swears?
@@judasthepious1499 bro sanskrit is considerd god language for us even if you curse it will never ever sound bad
arab ones are reaaally diverse, from north African to Egyptian to golf countries to syria and palestine. different curses but same principle.
@@judasthepious1499 it's kinda dead too. SO no one would get it tbh
@@rummansajid7346 it doesn't have curse word it's very interesting language similarly as per my knowledge Nepalese don't have curse word I don't know about other languages
as an Arab and a Palestinian, this was the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life
I'm also a Palestinian.... This shit was hilarious 🤣🤣
Is it tho!
Proud Palestinian ❤️ English indeed wants to grow up to be Arabic
@Ali Mando right oxymoron
yeah thats about the most freedom you’ll ever see☠️☠️
Best moment was when Arabs gasped at Koss Omm Illi Nafadak 😂😂😂 I internally cringed! Bro the degree of anger and disdain you gotta have towards someone to say that!
Fantastic performance in graphic translations and demonstrations!
But also for educational purposes, I must clarify that the magnitude of meaning in Arabic curse words does not necessarily correlate with the amount of anger and disdain that we mean in saying them. Generally, maximal anger and disdain are delivered with curse words explicitly targeted at one's parents, sisters, and God, not towards one's self. So "damn your entire history" is pretty inconsequential if you're trying to aggravate someone.
It’s so great how the Arabs gasp in the room.
I could listen to him explain curses for hours.
My favorite one to date is Irish: go ndeine an diabhal dréimire de cnámh do dhroma ag piocadh úll i ngairdín Ifrinn.
Translation: May the devil make a ladder of your backbone and pluck apples in the garden of hell.
I can’t stop watching this guy, he’s HILARIOUS!!!! And I watch a LOT of comedians. Holy shit, he’s funny. 😂
As a Palestinian, these curse words are rather soft compared to what we use

On point. When I was learning Chinese ( Cantonese and Mandarin), there are some pretty horrific similarities with their curse words too. 🤣
For Chinese language.. The Hokkien dialect sounds best for cussing.. Just the right amount of volume and tone to express anger

As Triangual speaker, swearing in Eng isnt as satisfied with other language, especially in my native language.
As an arab exactly saudi the amount of crazy details in arabic curses is absolutely making you dive straight to hell😂
As an iraqi this was the funniest stand up comedy i have ever seen and the accuracy of it was on point its hilarious
"no bitch" had me gasping for air 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm arab and I laughed more than I should...
That's hilarious! That's why the first words of a new language is ALWAYS the ugly words! Lmao 💖💯

i haven't laughed this hard in years i was deadass crying

Love that he didn't pull women down for his jokes unlike others
And he was still funny
I just shared this with a friend and said, "we need to learn Arabic!" 😂
Okay then you learn me Fucking English and I learn you Arabic probably the English will get me mad at the End 😂 So hard Specially when I'm speaking
Grain of sand TOOK ME OUT 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the bidet bit. In Italy we have it in every single flat and we can't live without it.
Yeah we noticed that on our visit to Italy few yrs back. Pretty much all hotels had them too. Very refreshing!
This is the BEST part of his special 😂😂
It's 100% Truth!

Deffo need an update....you banned?
I love that he can curser you out in 3 different languages, and he is so accurate and puts emotion in all three. 🤣

This is one of the best Stand-ups in the World, I guess! 😂
DIDNT find it funny.
they be laughiing at everything
Little do non-Arabs know that he was barely, barely, starting to curse in Arabic 😂
OMG, he got hit with the funny stick! LMFAO
this bit made me laugh out loud 🤣👌
And he kept saying Astaḡfirullāh, I'm dead! 😂
He's alot of fun live. Saw him in Boston a couple years ago. One of my favorites for sure
This is so true .....am from Malawi and cursing in my language carries more weight than when I curse in English lol
Fun fact:
Arabs watch with sound volume...
0:00 to 4:41 = 100%
4:42 to 7:39 = 15%
Remember guys " Betazek" & wiggle it 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Trust me It takes cursing to anothet level.
Here to help 😂❤
Can confirm. Here in Slovenia we very often use Serbian curse words because they're so much more intense :D
The accuracyyyyy 😂😂😭😭
I remember I was once reading a whole discussion in comments of two men cursing each other in English I was dying from laughter cus Wtf 😂😭 they seemed like two babies learning new bad words and trying them 😂😭 but I can never even read one sentence of arabic curse words, especially Algerian bad words 💀 God we are an whole other level 😂😭😭
Wow.... Offensively funny.
I like it 😂😂😂
Mo Amer!!! I'm laughing my ass off!!!
I don't even pick offence when someone says 'f*ck you', so understand him completely. English isn't that deep with cursing. With my language, anything can be an insult.

The first hand gesture he used is the official way we flip people off in Morocco too but we don't use the combination only different ways of pointing the finger lmao

That’s the thing with the Arabic language. Most people who spoke it didn’t know how to read or write. Everything was auditory.
It’s one of the languages that just evokes powerful precise imagery no matter what they’re talking about.
This is hilarious and accurate 😂😂😂👌🏻
6:20 the English accent was hilarious 😂 😂
Daamn he nailed it 😂
NafaDa means "he shook/jerked" so it would literally mean "the p* of the mother into which he jerked you." Told my Syrian friend and he said I was right. Told him Mo's translation and he said: "Aah, is he Filistini? Yeah, he is right, too."
I will never understand this language.
In light of recent events, I just realized that NafaDa is also the root of "IntifaDa". That's strangely interesting.
Arabic curse words feels illegal I swear 😂😂
Ahahahah as a turkish native, we have the samw swear words and I completely agree, swearing is just more colorful :D
I just watched your show on Netflix, funniest show ever, good job
You know arabic curses are on another level when he asks god for forgiveness everytime he curses in arabic.
