Some egyptian words I can't find in the dictionary

[mahdiya]

salam alaikum,

I'm trying to learn the egyptian dialect, but some words I can't look up:

mush ma'ool: does this translate as: "unheard of!" or "I've never heard something like that" ?

hadr: does it mean "okay"?

bi zabt: could this mean "that's right" ??

Can someone enlighten me, insha'Allah? Shukran!

Wassalaam,

Mahdiya

Despite having lived there, I probably can't tell you much about what each term means in the dialect. bi zabt is actually with a ض hence it's bid-dabt (not a z sound at all). The phrase means "with precision" and is often used to mean, "for sure", "definitely" and other such meanings. Perhaps an Egyptian brother or sister can explain this and the rest better and more correctly!

Asalamu alaikum,

mush ma'ool: unbelievable!

hadr: okay, yes. (mostly said to parents, I would say)

bi zabt:

Actually, it's pronounced bizabt in Egyptian language. Yes, it is "written" bid-dabt, but pronounced with z. And yes, it means "with precision" or "that's right".

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Wasalam.

Baarak Allaahu feeki. I noticed the Z in place of the ذ and ظ but that's it. Thank you.

Egyptian ammiya is funny.

Egyptian is not the same as other Arabic dialects. Morroccan is worse.
