A thousand thanks to the ones who helped me with my Arabic problem. It
seems that the man in my film says "nif", "foum" and Farid (the name of the
servant), Farit and Farid sound exactly the same when pronounced by a Finn.
Everything crystal clear, at last!
Have a nice weekend

P.S. The things you can learn on a list like this! I always thought that
Yacine was a woman!!!
>"Nif" is the dialectal version of "anf" in a lot of arabic countries.
>"Foum" is the dialectal version of "fem"
>As far as "farit" is concerned, I am quite sure it is NOT a proper name.
>The closest name I know is "farid".
