Questions & Answers about عنوان التوصيل صح.

Why doesn’t this sentence have a word for is?

Because Arabic normally leaves out the verb to be in the present tense.

So عنوان التوصيل صح is literally something like delivery address correct, but the natural English meaning is The delivery address is correct.

This kind of sentence is very common in both Egyptian Arabic and other varieties of Arabic.

Why is it عنوان التوصيل and not العنوان التوصيل?

This is an iḍāfa structure, often called a construct phrase.

In an iḍāfa:

• the first noun usually does not take ال
• the second noun can be definite
• if the second noun is definite, the whole phrase becomes definite

So:

• عنوان = address
• التوصيل = the delivery
• عنوان التوصيل = the delivery address

That is why عنوان appears without ال here.

What exactly is صح here?

صح means correct, right, or okay in Egyptian Arabic.

In this sentence, it is the predicate: it tells you something about عنوان التوصيل.

So the structure is basically:

• عنوان التوصيل = the delivery address
