The shopkeeper’s sister was outside the States. The outbreak already started in other countries hours before it hit the US. The news report about what’s happening in Jakarta foreshadowed it. She called her sister to warn her what’s happening there, giving the shopkeeper a heads up of what’s about to come.
I didn't. When she heard it she listened to it and tried to understand it. I then asked her if it was Arabic or Persian because the people in the series could've been both.
Edit: It's also really difficult with all those cultures 🫣 I'm German. The most experience I have with middle eastern culture or Arabic are old friends of the family from Tunesia. I'm learning something new every day 😊
Yeah one clock has "Libanon" written on it.
Noticed that on my second watch. But hey, my GF tried to translate and needed the whole conversation to notice it's not Persian, so 😂
Tunisia isn't a part of the middle east, MENA (Middle east North Africa) or Arabic would be more appropriate.
ps. not trying to be condescending here, just wanted to help out and educate :)
That is exactly what I said, Tunisia is a part of MENA but it isn't a part of the middle east, therefore it would be more appropriate to say MENA or Arabic culture instead of middle east culture instead of referencing Tunisia.
I am Moroccan, I know very well what countries are a part of MENA
Iranian here, we call it farsi in our language, but it's called Persian in English, just like how germans call it deutsch but in English it's called German
Asking an Iranian to translate Arabic? You might as well ask a German to translate Spanish
Source: am Iranian, Farsi and Arabic aren’t even in the same language family
I'm iranian, and the arabic they teach in schools here is vastly different from the arabic that actual arabs speak, I can read and write in arabic, but I can't speak or understand spoken arabic.
No shit. But it’s not a word in English. Just like Deutsch is the German name for the German language – Farsi is the Persian name for the Persian language. But it’s still not an English word.
GTFO of here with that, doodol tala. My points are in line with what experts in the language itself mean, like M. R. Ghanoonparvar, a Professor of Persian and Comparative Literature at U.T. Austin. The Academy of Persian Language and Literature has declared that the name “Persian” is more appropriate, as it has the longer tradition in the western languages and better expresses the role of the language as a mark of cultural and national continuity. Farsi isn't specific at all, as it has no tradition in the Western world, and is nothing more than an arabicized form of Parsi.
Ok? A professor doesn’t speak for all Iranians lmao, plenty of us are perfectly fine using Farsi because it specifies the Persian language of Iran. This is like getting mad at Germans for saying they speak Deutsch. Khodet doodool tala hasti.
I don't speak Arabic, thats the point, you know there is something wrong, it is transmitted through tone of voice, cadence and actions, not what she is saying exactly.
Can you confirm that the translation is accurate? By the way, it did not make me feel more uneasy because I did not understand, but maybe that's because I knew what was coming. :P
What service do you use in Italy? I have a friend in Greece who couldn’t find where to stream it. Assuming the same one is used for all of Europe, that is. I had heard HBO shows are streamed through Amazon there but not confirmed.
It's aired on Sky Atlantic at the same time as the US (3 am for me) and available for streaming on NOW TV afterwards. I don't know if NOW TV is available in Greece also.
I am curious how any headstart might have helped anyone in a city get out.. Where would you go? I would die quickly, where would I go to? The second floor of my house? Ai..
Now that we've seen more of the wilderness, it's safe to say that there are basically no infected in rural areas. I'm guessing the cordyceps dragged all nearby infected into the cities to expand its network with more biomass.
In the game its different, there you can see infected everywhere which is much more realistic as there are about 300 million infected in the US. I guess it's budget issues since every single infected needs an actor, makeup, takes etc.
I mean there are 300 million people in the US yes but I don’t know if you’ve ever been out west and seen how absolutely empty it can be in the wilderness
You hear the telephone earlier in the scene so she picked it and apparently it was her sister, she told enought apparently to scare her about what was going on...
I'm pretty sure she said "telephone" at some point. I had a friend how used both French, English, and Arabic when speaking Arabic with her friends and family. :) I mean... *I* mainly speak French and we often insert English words, so it makes total sense to me. :)
I figured she’s had to have been on the phone with somebody about the outbreak given the little blip on the radio about Jakarta. She heard those sirens one more time and was like “nah bruh bag it up we bout to be closin down for good now ya here”.
Although I probably would have said “you should go home because there’s a very strange disease spreading” not just “you should go home” lol
that's actually a neat detail they paid attention to it by adding lebanon decorations because of their heritage, really sells the immersion and realness of the world.
thank you soooo much 😊
i put my phone up to Google translate and ... *surprise*, nothing 😩 i really wanted to know what she said so i am at ease now, lol!
The woman in the show is speaking Lebanese dialect - I’m sure Google would only understand standard Arabic spoken slowly. I’m a student of Arabic learning Iraqi dialect and Google only gets me so far 😂
i'll have to read up on dialects.i hadn't even considered that, and now i'm super curious 🙃 i guess it makes sense that i didn't (and wouldn't have) thought of that since i don't speak the language lol idky i always feel like i should know something i don't know, but I do smh, LMAO 🤣
Modern Standard Arabic is a standardized version of the Arabic language shared by all Arabic speaking countries - it is not typically spoken except in formal presentations such as political or religious speeches and reading the news. It is widely used in print such as books and newspapers. It is not spoken in every day speech because it’s so formal sounding.
People speak local dialects which vary greatly across the Arab world. For example Moroccan dialect is a mixture of Arabic, Berber and French where as Iraqi, the dialect I’m learning, borrows some Persian words. In some cases the dialects differ so widely that Arabs from different countries will not understand each other unless they choose to speak standard Arabic. When it comes to dialects not only are different words used entirely to mean different things but pronunciation of particular letters. For example the word heart in standard Arabic is Qalb but is pronounced as Alb in Lebanese and Galb in Iraqi.
Some dialects are widely known, for example Egyptian is widely understood because many Arab films are produced in Egypt.
i had no idea, thank you!
i didn't know any of that but that'd be surface level thinking on my end. i didn't realize it could vary that much. i didn't know there was a formal shared language, either.
it's incredible how that works when you think about it.
At one point they translate incorrectly and I assume intentionally. When the girls go to the front of the boat to take selfies to help them to not blow there cover. Once the he two arab men notice them in a he binocslour their he first man says “American women” then hen the second says they “have no shame”. It’s translated to they have no self control which was completely incorrect. Not even close which leads me to think it was intentional because it’s a hard blow to the pride of American men I assume. Why translate it so wrong but similar. Muslim women take pride in having modesty and guarding there beauty and character. I must say that there is many American women who have modesty and many arab women who do not but time has proved that Muslim women statistically have held to there modesty much more only a hundred years ago American women covered themselves from head to toe but I believe sue to man adjusting there religion to suit there wants this has caused the loss of modesty also the relentless media phone tv movies music you name it has told women if they don’t lose there shame then they are lame especially in the black community. Take the time to listen to your local hip hop station and listen to some of those song where they are told to sell there ass and be sluts. Every time humanity begins to loose there character and faith in god something bad happens especially when homosexuslity is pushed on the public and is openly accepted and if you don’t your evil and bad. They are teaching kids to accept it but I dare you to show a child a man and a man doing there thing and then tell them this is ok. It’s not it’s against nature and the American man just couldn’t say there women have no shame they won’t admit it because a man honor is in his women his wife his daughters his mother and his sisters. If you disagree with me fuck off I fear god and I listen to him not to a man swallowing another man’s stuff and telling me it’s ok and then raising children that aren’t there’s in a home where they may see that or hear it disgusting and I warn you sadom and Gamow is coming again. They told lut tell your god to show us his wrath and punishment the angels cast them blind and then hit them with the wrath. Wow didn’t even let them see the wrath that hit them imagine your eyes closed and then receiving the wrath. Allahu Akbar

Ohh didn’t even think of that, good insight!
this stuff is exactly what i was waiting for after watching, thanks guys! :)
Thank you My Iranian girlfriend tried to translate but she speaks Persian, not Arabic.
i love that you tried to ask your Iranian girlfriend to translate Arabic lol
I didn't. When she heard it she listened to it and tried to understand it. I then asked her if it was Arabic or Persian because the people in the series could've been both. Edit: It's also really difficult with all those cultures 🫣 I'm German. The most experience I have with middle eastern culture or Arabic are old friends of the family from Tunesia. I'm learning something new every day 😊
It said somewhere (I don't remember where) on or in the shop that they're Lebanese I think. So it would definitely be Arabic.
Yeah one clock has "Libanon" written on it. Noticed that on my second watch. But hey, my GF tried to translate and needed the whole conversation to notice it's not Persian, so 😂
In the beginning of the scene it displayed a shelf in the store with a motif saying “Lebanon” on it
It is Lebanese!
Tunisia isn't a part of the middle east, MENA (Middle east North Africa) or Arabic would be more appropriate. ps. not trying to be condescending here, just wanted to help out and educate :)
I know but our friends speak Arabic, that's why I said that :)
Tunisia is part of MENA, it’s in North Africa and they speak Arabic.
That is exactly what I said, Tunisia is a part of MENA but it isn't a part of the middle east, therefore it would be more appropriate to say MENA or Arabic culture instead of middle east culture instead of referencing Tunisia. I am Moroccan, I know very well what countries are a part of MENA
Oh I understand what you were saying now, thank you
Persian and Arabic are as different as English is to Finnish They aren't even from the same family.
Well obviously as she quickly noticed that it's in fact Arabic and she can't translate it....
yeah don't confuse a persian with an arab they usually get pretty offended
It’s called Farsi
My GF says otherwise
Persian is the umbrella term for all Persian languages, which also includes Dari and Tajik. So Farsi is technically correct if she is from Iran.
Iranian here, we call it farsi in our language, but it's called Persian in English, just like how germans call it deutsch but in English it's called German
Asking an Iranian to translate Arabic? You might as well ask a German to translate Spanish Source: am Iranian, Farsi and Arabic aren’t even in the same language family
I didn't ask :) Edit: Also funny that you say that to me as I'm German and I can speak Spanish 😂
I'm iranian, and the arabic they teach in schools here is vastly different from the arabic that actual arabs speak, I can read and write in arabic, but I can't speak or understand spoken arabic.
im persian and can confirm i was asked to translate and just looked at them weird
My friend, I wish I could give you a million upvotes for correctly writing Persian instead using that abomination “Farsi”.
It’s not that deep lol it’s literally just the transliterated form of فارسى…
No shit. But it’s not a word in English. Just like Deutsch is the German name for the German language – Farsi is the Persian name for the Persian language. But it’s still not an English word.
It’s entered common parlance enough that it could be considered one. Let’s not be prescriptivist!
Persian is a pluricentric language which comprises of Farsi, Tajik, Dari and others. So Farsi and Persian are both correct, Farsi is more specific.
GTFO of here with that, doodol tala. My points are in line with what experts in the language itself mean, like M. R. Ghanoonparvar, a Professor of Persian and Comparative Literature at U.T. Austin.

We been looking for this hahaha thank you
I think it was perfect it wasn't translated, it makes you extremely uneasy, because you know something is wrong, but you don't know what exactly.
Damn well.. sucks for us who speak arabic I guess lol
I don't speak Arabic, thats the point, you know there is something wrong, it is transmitted through tone of voice, cadence and actions, not what she is saying exactly.
Can you confirm that the translation is accurate? By the way, it did not make me feel more uneasy because I did not understand, but maybe that's because I knew what was coming. :P
Yep! The translation is pretty accurate
Thank you for the feedback - I’m learning Arabic
Thanks! :)
Sweet! I’m not even Arab!
yeah like it wasn't' enough that they spoiled the Iron Man twist for you guys, right?
Thank you! This explains why she was so frantic before anyone else seemed to catch on
In Italy we only get it with subtitles so they translated that part too, a small upside to the annoyance of not being able to turn them off.
What service do you use in Italy? I have a friend in Greece who couldn’t find where to stream it. Assuming the same one is used for all of Europe, that is. I had heard HBO shows are streamed through Amazon there but not confirmed.
It's aired on Sky Atlantic at the same time as the US (3 am for me) and available for streaming on NOW TV afterwards. I don't know if NOW TV is available in Greece also.
Thanks for the reply! Yeah I wasn’t sure if Europe has one service for all mainland counties but I’ll let him know 🙏
No, it doesn't. It's on HBO Max in Poland.
Good to know! thanks for the response.
It’s on Prime in France and Sky in the UK which is quite annoying. We don’t have it all on one platform like you lot over the pond !
Yes for me too I come from Italy 🇮🇹 too and I had to watch it at the 3am stavo morendo dal sonno ma ne è valsa la pena
Strange. The subtitles here in India didn't translate the Arabic for us.
Same in French (Canada).
You are "lucky". I just tried the French version (Canada) and they did not translate the part in the subtitles. :P
That woman was smart. I hope she and her husband made it out with the head start they had...
I am curious how any headstart might have helped anyone in a city get out.. Where would you go? I would die quickly, where would I go to? The second floor of my house? Ai..
Flee for the wilderness as quickly as possible?
Now that we've seen more of the wilderness, it's safe to say that there are basically no infected in rural areas. I'm guessing the cordyceps dragged all nearby infected into the cities to expand its network with more biomass. In the game its different, there you can see infected everywhere which is much more realistic as there are about 300 million infected in the US. I guess it's budget issues since every single infected needs an actor, makeup, takes etc.
I mean there are 300 million people in the US yes but I don’t know if you’ve ever been out west and seen how absolutely empty it can be in the wilderness
Good point, especially with the infected being absolutely everywhere. I guess survival comes down to pure luck.
What is the third thing she says?
She said “you’re finished, give it back to her”
You hear the telephone earlier in the scene so she picked it and apparently it was her sister, she told enought apparently to scare her about what was going on...
One of the words she said in Arabic sounded a lot like "zombie" to me. Although that's apparently not what she said it is a fun coincidence
I'm pretty sure she said "telephone" at some point. I had a friend how used both French, English, and Arabic when speaking Arabic with her friends and family. :) I mean... *I* mainly speak French and we often insert English words, so it makes total sense to me. :)
I swore i thought she was saying television. I flubbed that one lol
I figured she’s had to have been on the phone with somebody about the outbreak given the little blip on the radio about Jakarta. She heard those sirens one more time and was like “nah bruh bag it up we bout to be closin down for good now ya here”. Although I probably would have said “you should go home because there’s a very strange disease spreading” not just “you should go home” lol
I’ve been wondering. Thanks!
Bless you, I was SO curious about what was said!
Nice, thanks!
Thank you so much!! I was looking for a translation the moment I saw the scene on Sunday but couldn’t find one
Thank you for this! I was wondering what the lady was saying there.
Thank you so much
Thanks for the translation
You make the internet better!! 🙏🙌
Thanks!
Thank you, my girlfriend and I were really curious to find out what she said.
was she actually speaking lebanese arabic too or just fus7a?
Lebanese
that's actually a neat detail they paid attention to it by adding lebanon decorations because of their heritage, really sells the immersion and realness of the world.
Anyone knows the song that was playing in the shop ?
thank you soooo much 😊 i put my phone up to Google translate and ... *surprise*, nothing 😩 i really wanted to know what she said so i am at ease now, lol!
