          A term that originally comes from the Hebrew word [Emet] (truth). It is not from Arabic, the Arabic word has been originated from the Hebrew one.
          It is often mentioned in both Jewish and Christian [prayers]. The Christian use of the word was inherited from the Jewish tradition of using it in prayers, pretty much like the word [Hallelujah] (praise God in Hebrew).
          In Israel, it is sometimes used as a slang in everyday speech.
          The term has two meanings:

          What you just said, is the truth.
          I wish that what you just said, will become the truth.
