The right way to say 'Not Yet' in Arabic! 💡 #arabic #vocabulary #shorts

Are you an American, British, Canadian, or Western expat living, working, or moving to Saudi Arabia? Stop speaking like an outdated translation app!

Standard classroom courses and grammar books teach "Laysa ba'd" for "not yet." But if you are waiting on a meeting to start, your Uber to arrive, or food delivery in Jeddah or Riyadh, nobody talks like that. In real daily life, locals use one universal, effortless word: "Lissa" .

Here is how Saudis use "Lissa" in everyday street conversations:
• Lissa mo dahin = Still not right now
• Lissa ma ja = He hasn't arrived yet
• Lissa baagi = There's still some left
