Hi everyone!
I lived in Dubai for a year so I know veeeery basic Arabic words such as Khalas. Now, as I am studying Shakespeare, I see that the characters use the world "alas" quite a lot with the same meaning as "khalas".
Does anyone know if there is a connection and if so,which word influenced the other?
TIA
