Did you know that in Arabic, there are 12 levels of friendship? For every level of friendship, there is an Arabic word to describe it. From Sadeeq to Khaleel, it is rare to find all 12 levels of friendship in one person.


Here are the 12 levels of friendship in Arabic…



1/ 𝙎𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙦 (صديق) - a true friend; someone who doesn't befriend you for an ulterior motive. The word "Sadeeq" is commonly translated as truth, so honesty and loyalty is at the core of this friendship



2/ 𝘼𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙨 (أنيس) - someone with whom you're really comfortable and familiar with.



3/ 𝙕𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙡 (زميل) - someone you have a nodding acquaintance with.



4/ 𝙅𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙨 (جليس) - someone you're comfortable sitting with for a period of time.



5/ 𝙎𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙧 (سمير) - you have good conversation with them.



6/ 𝙎𝙖𝙝𝙞𝙗 (صاحب) - someone who's concerned for your well-being.



7/ 𝙍𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙦 (رفيق) - someone you can depend upon.



8/ 𝙆𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙡 (خليل) - an intimate friend; someone whose presence makes you happy.



9/ 𝙉𝙖𝙟𝙞𝙮𝙮 (نجي) - a confidant; someone you trust deeply.



10/ 𝙉𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙢 (نديم) - a drinking companion (just tea) that you might call when you're free.



11/ 𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙞𝙮𝙮 (صفي) - your best friend; someone you've chosen over other friends.



12/ 𝙌𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 (قرين) - someone who's inseparable from you; you know how they think (and vice versa).

One reason I keep returning to Eggy Car is the smooth difficulty curve. Early runs teach the basics naturally, while longer distances start testing reaction time and careful control at the same time.

Really insightful piece — I love how Arabic captures such nuanced layers of friendship, from simple companionship to deep, inseparable bonds, showing that not all “friends” are the same level of trust or closeness . It’s interesting how this idea of different levels of connection also applies in other areas, like how expectations and responsibility are perceived in public life — for example here: https://replay.lsm.lv/lv/ieraksts/ltv/212827/martins-lauva-uz-latvijas-izlasi-ir-parak-mazs-publiskais-spiediens - where the discussion around pressure highlights how relationships and roles can vary depending on context.

There’s often a shift from curiosity to action when preparing for a role. The phrase cscs card price fits into that transition. It represents a real step in the process. The College of Contract Management is sometimes mentioned here. The explanation feels grounded and easy to follow. That makes progress smoother. It also helps maintain momentum. Moving forward feels more natural.
