Wrong pronunciation = wrong meaning

So it really bugs me when people say "Assam alaikum" instead of "Assalam o alaikum" when they greet because the wrong pronunciation can totally change the meaning. Assam a alaikum means death on you in Arabic, which is the complete opposite of Assalam o alaikum . So next time you greet someone, make sure you're pronouncing it correctly.

Assalamoalaikum!!

Jazak Allah Khair...for sharing..and bringing an imp. issue into consideration
May Allah Bless you!!

well i have a few more...i am adding it here!the complete thing...hope u dont mind...if u want u can add this in ur first post :)

How to Pronounce
Assalam-U-Alaikum = Peace be showered upon you
(Tum par salamti ho)

Vs

Saam-O-Alaikum = Destruction be on to you
(Tum barbad ho jao)

Asaam-O-Alaikum = Death be imposed upon you
(Tum ko mout aaye)

Assa-E-Kum = Pleasure be ceased upon you
(Tum Khushi ko turso)

Slam-Le-Kum = Curse be upon you
(Tum per Laanat Ho)

There are basic mistakes and even as Muslims….
Wedo not know how to say Assalam-U-Alaikum

So be careful about it..............
