Ok.. Well what i said in my comment is

if the police guy says "Ent Ghaltan" = "You're mistaken/Guilty" OR "Its your fault".. then you say "Eshdawaa" = Qatari slang to express your emotions depending on the nature of the occasion

You can use it as:

WTF / WTH? .. when your astonished / shocked

CL: plz translate all what u write in arabic so that non-arabs will be able to understand it

anyway "eshdawa" is a qatari word used in the meaning of "why/how come"

By Captain_Lost• 11 Apr 2012 09:43
Captain_Lost

yeah Osama .. and if the police tells you "Ent Ghaltan !" .. reply to him with "Eshdawaaaa !"

By osamabawab• 11 Apr 2012 09:40
osamabawab

whenever u go to police for accident (hope u won't) the first question will be "Meen Ghaltan?" means "Whose mistake?"
