I work in Saudi Arabia and Ive heard Indians and Saudis alike use - TopicsExpress



          

I work in Saudi Arabia and Ive heard Indians and Saudis alike use the expression same-same. (For example, The cars here same-same USA.) Is this an expression from Indian English? If it is, I find it fascinating to hear some Arab Saudis use it as well. On a similar topic, Im dabbling in Indonesian, and the word for same is sama (according to google translate), and the informal phrase for youre welcome after someone thanks you is sama-sama. Does the phrase same-same share a common origin with sama-sama?
