مَرحَبا جَميعًا، أنا كتير مِتحَمِّسة لأحكيلكُن عَن ثقافة يوم الجُمعة بِسوريا

Hello everyone, I'm really excited to tell you about the culture of Syria

يوم الجمعة بالنسبة للسوريين يوم كتير مُمَيَّز. طيب ليش مميز؟

Friday, for Syrians, is a very special day. Ok, why special?

اول اشي هو يوم عطلة رسمية للشركات الخاصة والعامة، المدارس والعامة. فكل أفراد العيلة بيجتمعوا بالبيت.

Firstly, it's an official holiday for private and public companies, public schools. So every member of the family comes together at home.

فطور يوم الجمعة، فطور كتير مميز. ولازم يكون احد تلات أكلات. فور

Friday breakfast, is a very special breakfast.

Which is, fool, fette

يعني كلياتنا يوم الخميس نتفق شو رح ناكل تاني يوم

All of us on thursday we agree what we will eat the next day.

من زمان، بعض العيال كان يحبوا يفطروا او يتغدوا او يتعشوا برا

Since a long time, some families liked to have breakfast or lunch or dinner outside

كمان في عيال بعد العشاء بيحبوا يطلعوا لبرا، ويشربوا شاي Also there are families that like to go out after dinner, and drink tea
