"You're welcome" in Tunisian Arabic
In Tunisian Arabic, "You’re welcome" is written using the Latin script as:
Mabinetnech
Using the Arabic script, it is written as:
بيناتناش
(Editorial note: In Tunisian Arabic, the word Mabinetnech / بيناتناش can be used by a speaker after an interlocutor thanks them for something as a good-spirited way to express to the interlocutor that the two are relationally close enough that there is no need to thank them. It is not common to use Mabinetnech / بيناتناش in a regular commercial setting (e.g., saying it towards a server at a café). In a commercial setting, the word 3aycheck / عيشك (which, in Tunisian Arabic, means Thank you / Thanks) is more commonly used.)
