Questions
Where are the words from?
From the dictionary of old Emirati words (documented press and heritage sources with links) and from everyday phrases in the UAE dialect. Each word carries its source.
Why the same word for everyone on a day?
So it becomes the group's talk: everyone learns the same word and uses it. You can browse earlier and later words with the arrows.
Is the pronunciation a real voice?
The browser's Arabic voice (it varies by device), plus the pronunciation in Latin letters. Recorded Emirati voices are coming in a later update.
Can it remind me daily?
Add the page to your home screen, or download the calendar file (.ics) that reminds you every morning. We don't send notifications ourselves.
