Arabic-English translation

[hope19]

I have a friend from Egypt,she was describing a person to me and said the word "Shahm"
neither of us can fins what it means in English..any help please.

Google just comes up with the word Sham or Shar.

[Ankou]

yoiu sure it werent shalom ?

in what context was she describing this person, personality, culture, looks, job....?

[Ankou]

sorry, meant salaam (before the pedants attack).

[NOX]

dunno but Shams means 'sunny' which could be used if decribing a disposition?

[keyplus90]

You never know it might not be Arabic at all, may be she said "shame". As Ankou said that what context it was in.

[hope19]

She wrote it down for me it is definately Shahm

[naomi24]

Shahm is a name. Are you sure she wasn't just telling you the person's name?

[society]

That thought occurred to me too Naomi, sounds more like that might be it.

[naomi24]

Well it's definitely a name, Society, so I can only imagine that's the answer.
