บท 130: Might Be Getting Something

They say that in Arabic, there are 12 levels of friendship.

Most of our "friends" are level 5 or below, and many of us don't have a single level 12 friend.

1.      Zameel – someone you have a nodding acquaintance with

2.      Jalees – someone you're comfortable sitting with for a period of time

3.      Sameer – you have a good conversation with them

Those are the first three levels of friendship, but from here on, it starts getting a bit more serious.

4.      Nadeem – a drinking companion (even with just tea) that you might call when you're free

5.      Sahib – someone who's concerned for your wellbeing

From this point, the real "ranks" of friendship is now shown in the following levels.

6.      Rafeeq – someone you can depend upon and go on a holiday with them

7.      Sadeeq – a true friend, someone who doesn't befriend you for an ulterior motive
