    If you know their first son's name, Abu (name of son). Having boys is important to arab men.

    Also, after you shake hands, place your right hand over your heart.

    The word, Al in front of any name shows you think he is respected.

    Baba, pronounced bah-bah, means father. I'm pretty sure it's also respectful to say it to an elder man.
