kalimat al-yawm means well, but a9-9araa7ah it veers towards sarcasm.
Imagine for a moment there's a cute yaahil who wants to show you they can do a back flip. You are genuinely impressed that this tiny creature can execute a move that, let's face it, you've not mastered yourself. However, when al-yaahil does the flip again, and again, and again, each time seeking the same approval from you, it's time to nip things in the bud and say: "3ishtaw!"
