Subject: Discordant Agreement Response

Concerning Egypt, the adjective for  'ahwa would be ' turki ';
and concerning the genuineness of spare parts, for example,
the term would not be 'baladi', as that could give the impression
that the parts were immitation.  To say genuine, for genuine
parts, the adjective would be  'asli  (or mustawrad).  To
say 'local', the adjective would be 'maHalli'.
To say an article is not genuine, the adjectives would be
'maghshuush', or 'maDruub', perhaps even - in jest - 'baladi'.
