@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io When I started learning Arabic, I had a beginners’ dictionary that translated “I hope” as inshallah, and now that I speak it fluently, I still fully support that translation. There are other ways to express hope in Arabic, but that’s by far the most common one.

@benjamingeer@piaille.fr @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io My personal translation from interactions with my family-in-law is "I sincerely hope it happens but it's out of my hands so I'd rather not elaborate further rn" :D
