What does nashat mean in Arabizi?

nashat is how you write نَشاط in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “activity”. No numbers in this one; it spells out in plain Latin letters.

New to the chat alphabet? See how every letter and number maps: the Arabizi → Arabic guide. Got it the other way round, with Arabic script to convert? That is the Arabic to Arabizi converter.

How to type it

The keystrokes, in order.
