Abstract

The paper shows how "Allah" is used in Yemeni Arabic (YA daily conversations). As in the Arabic world and the Muslim world, the term Allah has a variety of meanings in Yemeni Arabic, reflecting the belief that Allah alone handles all their affairs, blesses, and is eager or criticizes someone to do something. Therefore, it shows several expressions containing the word Allah when it contains a sentence. Some of these expressions have multiple meanings, such as /Allah alaik/, which has two meanings: (“You are the best!” and the irony, “this is like a disaster!”) The word Allah is present in other expressions but with entirely different meanings, such as when expressing moaning or aiming for guidance. This research-based is on social life contact, reaction, and cultural influence of native Yemenis. Other most common expressions have been discussed in this paper, which shows the word, in its rule, has a significant religious and cultural bias in Yemeni society using this term.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0099/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
