Salam alaikum,
Every muslim should remember these essential expressions.
Note: Spellings may vary when translated to English
These expressions are mostly singular. For example to say Allah baraka fiki to more than one person you would say Allah baraka fikum and as sister tathbeet noted to say Jazak Allah khieran for more than one person would be Jazakahu Allah khieran and so on. It is fine to speak in the masculine tense when speaking to women formaly.

Well I dont actually know what a 'sticky' is, in this forum, but yes, those are some helpful reminders. One of the big problems I have in studying Islam, trying to remember all these various Arabic terms, as English is my primary language and my memory is not very good! I have tried taping Arabic words all over the house, purchased 'learn Arabic' audio-cassette lessons, and still am not getting these words down! This list will likely get posted on my wall somewhere. Maybe that will help?
