haadha il-akil a7la min dhaak – This meal is sweeter than that one.

7ilu, which means 'sweet' is also used to mean ‘good’, ‘great’.

ri7t ashuuf shayarat il-7ayaa fi-l-ba7rayn – I went (to) see the Tree of Life in Bahrain.
7ilu! – Great!

Note: The so-called Tree of Life is a fully-grown tree in the midst of the desert sands of Bahrain. People do not know how it sustains itself.

Another synonym is ‘3ajeeb’ (wonderful). It is stronger than ‘7ilu’.
