Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Khalil: Borrowing things from people is totally fine, as long as you don't forget to return them. The word ‘ndk meaning “do you have” can be used in many situations, not just for physical objects one might be carrying, but also for intangible things. For example, you could use it to ask someone if they know the time or if they have free time.

Becky: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in the next lesson!
Khalil: بسلامة (bslâma)
