文化的背景
In the Arab world, the workplace is often treated as an extension of social life. Sharing meals and 'kahwa' (coffee) with a `zameel` is a standard part of the day. The term `zameel` itself comes from an old root meaning 'to follow' or 'to accompany,' highlighting the companionship aspect of work.
The Name Game
Always try to mention the colleague's name after the phrase. It makes the introduction feel much warmer and more personal.
Mind the Hierarchy
Never call your boss `زميلي`. Even if you are close, it can be seen as a lack of respect for their position.

What It Means
This phrase is your bread and butter for office talk. It translates to "my colleague at work." It identifies someone you share a desk or project with. It is polite and clear. You use it to define your professional relationship. It sounds much more natural than using overly formal titles.
How To Use It
Use it when introducing a coworker to your family. You can also use it when telling a story. For example, "I went to lunch with zameeli fi al-shughl." It fits perfectly in both speech and text. Just add the person's name first for clarity. It is a very flexible phrase for daily life.
When To Use It

When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for your boss or supervisor. That might sound a bit too casual or disrespectful. Use mudeeri for your manager instead. Also, if you are best friends, use sahbi. Zameel implies a bit of professional distance. Avoid it if the person is a subordinate.
Cultural Background

This phrase reflects that bond of shared effort. It is a respectful way to acknowledge a peer. It shows you value the professional connection.
Common Variations
If you are talking about a woman, say zameelti. In the Gulf, you might hear fi al-dawam. Some people just say zameeli if the context is clear. In Egypt, you might hear zimeeli with a slight vowel shift. All these variations mean the same thing.
使い方のコツ
