أنا مبسوط إني شوفتِك
Ana mabsout enni shoftek
I am happy I saw you.
Culture, not just words
Textbook Arabic gets you understood. Masri gets you a smile.
How are you?
Textbookكيف حالك؟kayfa haluk
Masri →عامل إيه؟3amel eh?
Literally “what are you doing?” It is how Egyptians ask how you are.
I want a coffee
Textbookأريد قهوةuridu qahwa
Masri →عايز قهوة3ayez ahwa
The q goes silent in Cairo: qahwa becomes ahwa. Also the word for café.
Let’s go
Textbookهيا بناhayya bina
Masri →يلا بيناyalla bina
For leaving, starting, or hurrying someone up.
No problem
Textbookلا مشكلةla mushkila
Masri →ولا يهمكwala yhemmak
Literally “don’t let it worry you”. Warmer than a plain no problem.
