Phrases not words?

OK...

1. Mafi mushkila !.... No problem!
2. Ish hada?... What's this? (Basically being said to somebody who had done something questionable?)
3. Muk mafi.... No brain ! (This is usually said on whisper by the person and normally he is the only one who can hear)
4. Ya sadik !... Hey my friend !
5. Kam hada? ... How much is this?

And the word I normally hear .. but does not have any idea at all ... is " agulak"
