رسوم الشحن غالية عشان ميعاد التوصيل المتوقع قريب.

In Arabic, the verb to be is usually omitted in the present tense.

So:

• رسوم الشحن غالية = The shipping fees are expensive / high
• ميعاد التوصيل المتوقع قريب = The expected delivery time/date is soon / close

There is no separate word for is/are here. That is normal in both Egyptian Arabic and MSA.

If you wanted past or future, then Arabic would usually use a form of كان:

• كانت رسوم الشحن غالية = The shipping fees were expensive
• هتكون رسوم الشحن غالية = The shipping fees will be expensive

Because رسوم الشحن is an iḍāfa (construct phrase), which is how Arabic often says shipping fees, delivery time, car door, and so on.

In an iḍāfa:

• the first noun does not take ال
• the second noun can take ال if the whole phrase is definite

So:

• رسوم الشحن = the shipping fees / shipping fees
• literally: fees of the shipping

Other similar examples:

• باب العربية = the car door
• ميعاد التوصيل = the delivery موعد / delivery time

So الرسوم الشحن would be incorrect.

Because رسوم is a non-human plural, and in Arabic non-human plurals are very often treated grammatically like feminine singular.

That is why you get:

• رسوم الشحن غالية not
• رسوم الشحن غاليين

This is very common:

• الكتب جديدة = The books are new
• الأسعار غالية = The prices are high
• العربيات سريعة = The cars are fast

Even though the nouns are plural, the adjective/predicate often appears in feminine singular form.

Because غالية here is the predicate of the sentence, not an adjective inside the noun phrase.

Compare these two patterns:

• رسوم الشحن غالية = The shipping fees are expensive
  Here غالية is the predicate, so it is normally indefinite.

• رسوم الشحن الغالية = the expensive shipping fees
  Here الغالية is a regular adjective describing رسوم الشحن, so it must match it in definiteness.

So in your sentence, غالية is correct because the sentence means Shipping fees are high, not the expensive shipping fees.

Here عشان means because.

So the sentence structure is:

• رسوم الشحن غالية = first statement
• عشان... = reason
• ميعاد التوصيل المتوقع قريب = the reason

In Egyptian Arabic, عشان is extremely common in everyday speech. It can also mean things like:

• for
• so that
• in order to

But in this sentence, the meaning is clearly because.

A more formal alternative would be لأن.

ميعاد is a very common Egyptian Arabic word meaning something like:

• appointment
• time
• scheduled time
• date

In this sentence, it means the expected delivery time/date.

So ميعاد التوصيل is basically the delivery موعد, meaning the scheduled delivery time or date.

A native English speaker may wonder why it is not just time. The reason is that ميعاد often has the sense of a set or expected time, not just time in general.

In more formal Arabic, you might often see موعد instead, but ميعاد is very common in Egyptian speech.

Because Arabic adjectives normally come after the noun they describe.

So:

• التوصيل المتوقع = the expected delivery

not:

• المتوقع التوصيل

Also, adjectives in Arabic usually match the noun in definiteness. Since التوصيل has ال, the adjective also has ال:

• التوصيل المتوقع = the expected delivery
• توصيل متوقع = an expected delivery

So the order is very normal Arabic noun + adjective order.

Because the word being described here is ميعاد, and ميعاد is masculine singular.

The full subject is:

• ميعاد التوصيل المتوقع = the expected delivery time/date

The head noun of that phrase is ميعاد, so the predicate agrees with it:

• ميعاد ... قريب = correct

If the head noun were feminine, then you would expect a feminine form.

Also, in this context قريب does not mean physically near only. With time expressions, it often means:

• soon
• close
• coming up

So ميعاد التوصيل المتوقع قريب means the expected delivery time/date is close at hand.

It is basically both, but in natural English you would usually understand it as soon.

Arabic often uses قريب for something that is close in time as well as close in space. So with a time/date word like ميعاد, the meaning is:

• the date is near
• the delivery time is soon
• it’s coming up soon

So a learner should recognize that قريب can describe time, not just physical distance.
