      We aren’t speaking Arabian. It’s like “naan bread”, sure, naan means bread but not in this language and we’ve lots of other breadsIf you just say Rye a Canadian will hand you a glass of whisky not a loaf of bread.

        The language is called Arabic, but otherwise agree

        That’s still a bad example. We don’t say that “I drive a XYZ car” since car is implied and we can just say “I drive a XYZ

        Check with any XYZ standing for a manufacturer like Toyota, Tesla or a model like Corolla, 911, etc.

        If there’s enough understanding of the concept, no need for clarification. Everyone knows naan is a bread. Unless you are asking a question in Japanese, just drop the bread (and law for Sharia)
