It is important to know how to use these phrases, when and how to use them as well. Kitchen utensils in Arabic are fixed and generally follow no specific rule, however, you will notice that words that were once a verb like tabakh – طبخ , meaning he/she cooks, would be turned into matbakh – مطبخ, meaning kitchen in Arabic.
