Lower Intermediate - Showing gratitude

Great topic. I'm sure you could do many more lessons on this subject.

With the expression

فضلك سابق

Could you please explain how this translates to you've done favours for us before? It's not a verb so I'm confused about what is means literally. Your favour [is/was] before? I think سابق فضلك would mean the "favour of yours...". Sometimes Arabic seems so brief compared to English.

If we break it down, (فضلك) means (your favour), then (سابق) is literally (precedent or the one that came before). Both words are nouns and the sentence is nominal. Hope this answers your enquiry.

alf shukr ya istaz. It's clear now. In English every sentence must have a verb otherwise the sentence in incomplete. So when I read nominal sentences something seems incomplete. Your previous favour.....

One suggestion for an up coming lesson: can you give more advanced greetings? As you know greetings are a competition to be more polite than the other person just like with words of gratitude so this is very useful for learners.

In the phrase اقدر اردلك why is there no ان after اقدر?
Thanks for the lessons.
