What should I reply when someone says Insha'Allah?
The term In'shaAllah written إن شآء الله in Arabic (written from right to left) simply means putting the future in the Will of Allah. No human knows what the future holds and whether we will be alive or able to fulfill any commitment, or if the commitment is good for us or not. That is why Muslims (and other Arabic speaker) say this phrase signifying their commitment for a something subject to the Willingness of Allah. A way of saying that, may we be guided for what's good for us.Interestingly, on a visit to Spain, some years ago, I was intrigued by an expression that was used by the locals, specially waiters and shopkeepers. They would say “Shala”! It suddenly dawned on me that the Spanish had learned this term as a figure of speech from the time that there was Muslim rule in Spain and they were actually speaking a diminutive form of the term In'shaAllah!!There are any number of ways in which one can respond to this phrase. You don't have to be a Muslim to invoke the name of God.The answers that I am suggesting are from my intimate knowledge of Muslim customs, culture, and a good knowledge of Arabic.By repeating In'shaAllah (God Willing)Say “God Willing” in your own language or in EnglishSay “Allah Kareem” (Allah is Kind or Benevolent)Say “God be Benevolent” in your own language or in EnglishSay “Wishing for us the best”Say “May God Guide us”Say nothing and just nod your head in agreement.Any of the above would be most acceptable and polite ways of responding.
What do you say back when someone says touche?
touche is a gracious way of saying, you win. no come back is required since they have admitted defeat, rubbing it in there face would make you the lesser person. a smug smirk is more than adequit if you must respond. i would prefer to remain silent and let us both realize who the victor was, .
When someone says BARAKALLAHU FEEK what do you reply back?
BarakAllahu Feek means "May Allah (ﷻ) bless you". You can reply back "Wa Feeka BarakAllah" (to male) or "Wa Feeki BarakAllah" (to female). It basically means, 'And may Allah (ﷻ) bless you (too)'. Sometimes I just up the ante and say "JazakAllah Khair" in response. Technically JazakAllah Khair (for male) or JazakiAllahu Khair (for female). (May Allah (ﷻ) reward you). And vice versa too. السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

He thinks you're not in favor of Groundhog's Day, so he thinks you have no sense of fun. If this is true, go find help. If it is not, search up some facts about groundhogs. You are welcome!
How do you respond back when someone says they are happy for you?
If someone says that to you that shows how magnanimous or selfless they are reflecting at that time. So, it would be nice to say one of the following:'I am glad to listen to this’'You are really being extremely nice, thank you.’'You motivate me to do better' (say this to someone close to you)‘This encourages me''Well that makes me happy too''You are so kind. Loved to be in contact with a person like you.’But, in another context for example if you had a break up or your friendship has ended some while ago and you met the other person and they say 'I am happy for you' regarding your achievements or anything in the meanwhile that passed without you two together.. then reply would be like this:'I am happy for you too, keep your charm up''That is so nice of you, I wish you all the happiness in return'Thanks for reading.*Peace*

Aloha! : How do you answer back when someone says "Aloha" in Hawaii?
If you wanted to get fancy, you could say, "Aloha Kakahiaka!" in the morning, "Aloha Awakea!" in the afternoon, "Aloha Ahiahi!" in the evening, and "Aloha Po!" at night. If someone is saying "Aloha" as goodbye, "Malama Pono" is entirely appropriate. "Malama" means "take care" and "pono" means "righteous" or "excellent". You should stretch out the first "ah" in "Malama" an extra fraction of a second.The diacritical mark I can't type here means that you don't say that syllable louder necessarily, but you stress it by making the vowel a tiny bit longer than the other vowels. Do the same thing for "po"
If someone says welcome, then how do I reply?
So many options.“Pleased to meet you.”“Thanks. I’ve always wanted to come here.”“Enchanté.”“Truly it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance”.“Oh wow. What a delightful place you have.”“Thank you for welcoming me here.”I honestly don’t know if any of these are good. Perhaps they’re a little too 19th Century but they’re the best I have.
