Hi

In Lebanon we say:
 (ala rasi) على راسي or على الراس والعين ( (ala ras wel ayn) answering in the affirmative when asked to do something.
تكرم (tikram/tikrami) responding to "shukran"

Also, the verb samma' سمّع 
We have a verb "to show" for warra yiwarri (ورى يوري) yet if I have some music or something else I want you to listen to, I will asamma'ak. We might say, "to play (the music) for you," or to "let you listen" or "have you listen," but none of these are quite as broad or as concise as samma'.
