Okay, so… I’m lowkey obsessed with Arabic.The sounds. The letters. The ✨drama✨.But also? Some words are just so good they deserve their own merch. Like, why are we letting these gems collect dust when they could totally be on tote bags, mugs, and stickers right now?

So here are 10 Arabic words that NEED a comeback—each one with major vibe potential and of course, a QoolCool Sora-worthy design idea to go with it 💖👇


1. **“يِخْزي العِدُو” – “May the enemy be shamed”

✿ Vibe:** Auntie energy meets ultimate hype.Design idea: Big bold heart with protective eyes and lightning bolts. Perfect for a keychain or notebook cover.


2. **“سُبحان الخالِق” – “Glory to the Creator”

✿ Vibe:** When something is just too pretty for words (aka your face).Design idea: Elegant hand with flowers growing out of it, inside a soft oval frame.



3. **“يا عيني” – “Oh my eye!” (aka: OMG you're so precious)

✿ Vibe:** Tender. Soft. Grandmas say it 100x a day.Design idea: Teary eye full of stars and flowers. Would slay as a pin or mug.


4. **“طَقّ الهوا” – “Chilling with the breeze”

✿ Vibe:** Sitting outside, drinking tea, doing nothing and loving it.Design idea: Girl with her feet up, scarf flying, coffee cup in hand. Hellooo, tote bag.


5. **“يا لطيف” – “Oh Kind One”

✿ Vibe:** When things get intense and you need divine cuteness.Design idea: Repeating this word inside a dreamy cloud, with soft stars and pastel blue.


6. **“خاطِرِي” – “I feel like…”

✿ Vibe:** Dreamy + slightly dramatic.Design idea: Girl journaling with her thoughts floating out around her head like bubbles.


7. **“هَلا وَغَلا” – “Warmest welcome”

✿ Vibe:** The most Arab way to say “heyyy queen”Design idea: Bold, curvy Arabic letters with sparkles and a glowing sun. Sticker pack ready!


8. **“نَوَّرِت” – “You lit up the place”

✿ Vibe:** When someone walks in and changes the whole vibe.Design idea: Word glowing in neon over a tiled background. Lowkey obsessed with this as a print.


9. **“عَسَل” – “Honey”

✿ Vibe:** Flirty. Sweet. Low-effort nickname.Design idea: Dripping honey letters with little bees and flowers. Mug-worthy for sure.


10. **“دَلال” – “Graceful charm”

✿ Vibe:** That soft girl magic. Floating through life like an elegant emoji.Design idea: Silhouette of a girl walking in a long flowy dress, surrounded by hearts and flowers. Definitely needs to be on a pouch.
