EPI 4 Missed The Bus
Missed the Bus
Context:Mina is Zaid’s cousin, both taking the same class. Zaid arrived early while Mina didn’t make it and eventually arrived late. So, let’s start!
Mina:I’m late!
Zaid:(Leeh-kedah-ita5rte) ليه كدة إتأخرتي
Mina:I missed the bus
Zaid:(leh-maba3tesh-maseg)ليه مبعتيش مسج
Mina:My phone died
Zaid:(leeh-masha7ntehosh)ليم مشحنتيهوش
The word could be used :1. why did something/someone do happen ليه وصلتي متأخر؟ Why did you arrive late ? هو ليه (الإزاز)الزجاج أتكسر؟ Why did the glass break ?
Note :In Egyptian dialect , the word glass is pronounced El-ezaz (الإزاز) but written زجاج al-zjaj 2.why agree/disagreeing ليه لأ Why not? ليه ينفع يعني؟ Well why is it allowed? That’s all, Happy Learning!
