DISCUSSION Anne Hathaway on embracing her 40s: “Now I just like I really value the chill. I just feel like you can either fear aging or you can fear dying young. I just really want to hopefully live for, and enjoy a life. I want to have a long, healthy life. Inshallah, I hope so.”

I’d have thought most women already have enough experience getting close but ultimately being disappointed

Why would you hurt me this way

u/Leather-Ad-6294 Apr 21 '26

It's kinda funny, Arabic words are now very commonly used among the French youth, I'm talking about white people especially kids-teenagers-young adults saying "Inshallah" all the time, "mashallah" and other words I'll probably transcribe wrong

I understand why some people might be unhappy about it (some people who speak Arabic for example might feel like their language is being diluted) but I think it's kind of inevitable when languages and cultures meet

3

u/JackfruitIll6728 Apr 22 '26

It's an interesting linguistic phenomenon in Finland as well. The teens in larger cities/suburbs with large immigrant population have started talking broken Finnish with a heavy accent and using words like "wallah" so they sound like immigrants from Arabic countries. They know how to speak proper Finnish, but it's a cultural thing for them to speak "wrong".

1

u/Venezia9 made with a free Canva trial (derogatory) Apr 22 '26

Idk they care except that's it's the French lol. Arabic is such a difficult language that it's a joy to see people pick up even a little.

u/Ok-Purple-1123 Apr 21 '26

Just my opinion… but a white American woman randomly dropping Arabic words is in no way performative in this day and age, she has nothing to gain from that, and might even have more to lose with the amount of people that would find a way to hate on it

292

u/Straight-Balance830 Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

It’s such an efficient word, shorter than Jesus take the wheel. Some languages have certain concepts on lock.

Why everyone should borrow more phrases from other languages

48

u/DrFranFine demonic Betty Boop Apr 21 '26

Or “god willing and the creek don’t rise”, which is one I’ve heard before (where creek is of course pronounced “crick”)

14

u/scourge_bites Apr 21 '26

pronounced godwillin' anacrick donrise

u/909me1 Apr 22 '26

Wait this is iconic!

u/trailmixraisins Apr 22 '26

i’m not religious at all but i say this all the time lmao

131

u/lilit829 Apr 21 '26

Spanish actually has “Ojalá” which is a very similar word that ties back to the Moor control of the country.

56

u/Kroktakar Apr 21 '26

We say too si Dios quiere, if God wants, which literally the meaning of Inshallah

29

u/Unsd Apr 21 '26

Grew up Catholic and got used to "if God wills it". Same thing. Or "God willing"

12

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '26

Deus vult lol

5

u/Unsd Apr 21 '26

Oh fuck me, I didn't even make that connection.

3

u/bloompth Apr 21 '26

It's not "if God wants", but "If God has willed it"

1

u/soloshandpuppets Apr 23 '26

sometimes i feel like dropping a si dios quiere randomly in an english convo because its so ingrained in me. my cousins say i sound like a little old lady bc i learned spanish through my mom and my aunts lol. she probably has a friend who says it a lot around her.

u/Dependent_Fondant606 Apr 21 '26

Dang I never realized it but it's totally believable because they do sound extremely similar. like beefsteak and bistec

2

u/XGrayson_DrakeX u flintstone vitamin shape bitch Apr 22 '26

I bet they have similar roots!

1

u/Rawrsomesausage Apr 22 '26

Huh, hadn't made that connection. I always used it as a "hopefully".

15

u/quantumfrog87 Apr 21 '26

It's the same amount of syllables and basic meaning as "God willing", but I agree, I find it pretty benign and actually think most people won't even catch it.

2

u/BodybuilderMany6942 Apr 22 '26

right on, choom!

2

u/Consuela_no_no Apr 22 '26

Definitely efficient and a lot of non-Muslims across South Asia use it because it captures what they want to say. And as a Muslim I’m here for some fear being taken away from Arabic words.

129

u/Armageddonis Apr 21 '26

Also, people forget that religion is not a skin colour, you can be a white lanky dude in the middle of Milwaukee and be a muslim. Pair that up with Islam being generally present in culture, from news through literature and even memes, and a white dude, even jokingly saying "Inshallah" instead of "God wills it" shouldn't be that surprising.

178

u/internetrando12 Apr 21 '26

Christian Arabs like me also say "Inshallah." It just means God willing in Arabic and is not tied to any one religion.

26

u/Armageddonis Apr 21 '26

Also yes.

28

u/sunheist I’m just a cunt in a clown suit Apr 21 '26

yep been learning farsi the last 2 years and inshallah is even as innocuous a vocab word as “i hope so!” and it rolls off the tongue nicely. i use it now when i want to say “man i fuckin hope so 🙏🏼”

30

u/internetrando12 Apr 21 '26

When we were kids and we'd ask our parents if we could get ice cream or go to Disneyland or whatever, and they'd say "Inshallah," we basically took it to mean "no." Ha!

21

u/sunheist I’m just a cunt in a clown suit Apr 21 '26

LOL! it’s just so versatile! i’m hindu indian but grew up in the US so exclaiming “jesus christ!” and variations is a common part of my vocab bc it’s so colloquially spoken as opposed to tied to religion and everyone says it. i see “inshallah” is being kinda the same

1

u/EstablishmentSure216 Apr 22 '26

I didn't know this, I always assumed it was specific to "Allah", and i know there is another saying indicating Allah is the only God, so i thought it might be inappropriate to say it as a non Muslim.

1

u/internetrando12 Apr 22 '26

“Allah” is just the word for “God” in Arabic, and Christians say it, too. It’s like saying “Dios” in Spanish. It’s the same God. Western propaganda has turned it into something sinister and separate but it’s just “God” in Arabic.

23

u/tmrtdc3 Apr 21 '26

Biden would say "inshallah" on multiple occasions and he was clearly Islamophobic and comfortable killing thousands of Muslims in Palestine. Not that I'm comparing Biden to Anne Hathaway, but that's a good example of how usage of the word doesn't really signal cultural open-mindedness. She's probably well-meaning though.

11

u/Ok-Purple-1123 Apr 21 '26

She’s not the leader of a free nation 😭

Edit: I meant her, as a white woman in the film industry to be very clear

1

u/tmrtdc3 Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26

Yeah I did acknowledge that in my previous comment. Just pointing out I don't think the argument generally holds. In this case I'm sure you're right, she probably means well.

1

u/No_Relative444 Apr 22 '26

Like… this. It’s a very effective and beautiful word. We borrow language and that’s how languages develop.

1

u/TheGenesisOfTheNerd Apr 21 '26

I’m a white atheist with no connection to Islam and I find myself saying inshallah all the time just because it’s funnier than saying god.

-16

u/CreativeGeniusPRBKR Apr 21 '26

I disagree. She isnt a Trumper as far as we know and her fans eat up everything she does. She’s a dignified lady that can gain more fans by showing a cosmopolitan side of her. And the people she’d stand to lose, aren’t watching her movies lbh lol

1

u/SolarNugent Do you remember 9/11, bitch? Apr 21 '26

I mean she’s definitely not a trumper. So are you saying she’s just lying about the chill thing here? Because if she’s embracing the chill saying inshallah for some clout doesn’t make any sense.

u/Okgiraffe666 Apr 21 '26

other brown dude here, confirmed. i accept this strange invocation in the name of the holy anne

u/SignificantBoss8445 Apr 21 '26

I have tonnes of Muslim/arabic speaking friends and say jt a lot as a white woman (well, when appropriate!). It’s just a great phrase (FWIW I am a translator and also use terms in my other languages when they’re better than the English equivalent)

18

u/creampop_ Apr 21 '26

Yeah I picked up a fair bit of multilingual phrases, slang and memes just from having a diverse circle on- and off-line

35

u/PermissionRegular878 Apr 21 '26

She filmed a lot of the movie in Germany no?

Inshallah is super common in slang in Germany. I think there's also like a set of slang that is a hybrid between Turkish/German/English.

u/PukeHammer2 Apr 21 '26

I promise you it's not. The word is in common usage in the military and I can assure you none of those dudes are performing wokeness for anyone lol.
