This article looked at how neutral death related expressions are euphemized in Arabic Language and the reasons behind euphemism as well. The study was qualitative, and the data collected via observation in regional death social gatherings, where people offer condolences. Then, uninstructed interviews were run to randomly chosen people for further analysis and decisions. The findings showed different uses of euphemism so that language users avoid unpleasant reactions, and offer any sort of consideration, solidarity and sympathy to the addresses.
