Other everyday greetings include "kwayyis(a), alhamdulilah" "Good, thanks to allah", "Kēf al-usra?" "how is the family?" or "kēf al awlād?" "how are the children". For friends, the question "Kēf?" can also be formed using the person's first name, prefixed by "ya", for example; "kēf ya Yōsif?" "How are you, Joseph?". Another standard response in addition to "al-hamdu lillāh" is "Allāh ybarik fik" "God's blessing upon you". Additional greetings are appropriate for particular times and are standard in most varieties of Arabic, such as "Sabāh al-khēr? / Sabāh an-Nōr".
