I hope this is alright to ask here. If not, please let me know and I'll delete this.
I'm learning Arabic and I have a question about the Syrian Arabic dialect, specifically the one spoken in Damascus: which word would you use for "therefore"? From different levantine speakers I've heard لَهيك , مشان هيك , عشان هيك. But I don't know which one would be normal to use in Damascus.
Might sound silly, but every once in a while, random guys around me (pretty short, female) start humming/making random noises when they get near me, usually when I'm alone. Imagine me standing at a red traffic light at night or something. It's never women. Sometimes, it's some creep trying to get my attention, though that's usually kinda obvious.
But I also had it happen with guys who didn't seem like they wanted anything. I lowkey suspect that some might make noises so that I'm not caught off guard or something?
Any men on here who do this? Or am I just tripping?
Edit to summarize: So, a few guys apparently do it on purpose, while others think they might do it subconsciously. Some do it around women, others around whomever, since anyone can get scared. Super interesting.
Also, when I spoke of creeps, I meant actual assholes who did and said shitty stuff, not random socially awkward people. You know the drill.
