A lot of north African Arabic dialect words are straight up french words transliterated to Arabic. That's in addition to the lebanese dialect having some, and also many Lebanese people knowing French as a secondary language

Also hello buddy!

That's interesting, checking a moroccan arabic dictionary from french loanwrods i understand almost nothing xd. Though we do have some basic loanwords like cafe and telfizion

And hi! Always good to see you :D
