In Arab culture, values such as patience (صَبْر – ṣabr) and hospitality (كَرَم – karam) are highly esteemed, and maintaining one’s composure is generally preferred over quick outbursts of anger. However, the language is rich with expressive interjections like “Ufff” (an exasperated sigh) or “Ya Allah” (Oh my God) used to vent frustration.
