قبل ما نتبنى، هنجيب الاكل الناشف ونتواصل مع الدكتور البيطري.

In Egyptian Arabic, قبل ما + verb is a very common way to say before doing something or before we/you/he... do something.

So:

• قبل ما نتبنى = before we adopt
• literally, it is something like before that we adopt

If you use قبل by itself, it usually wants a noun after it, not a full verb clause.

Arabic often puts the subject inside the verb itself. Here, we is shown by the prefix نـ on the verbs:

• نتبنى = we adopt
• نجيب = we get/bring
• نتواصل = we communicate / get in touch

In هنجيب, the هـ marks future, and the نـ still marks we.

So you do not need a separate word for we.

Here it means we adopt.

In this context, especially with pet-related vocabulary like dry food and the vet, the natural reading is before we adopt (the animal).

So the sentence is talking about what we should do before adopting a pet.

It is pronounced roughly netbanna or nitbanna, depending on the speaker.

The final ى here does not sound like English ee. In this kind of word, it represents a final long a sound.

So:

• نتبنى ≈ netbanna

This verb comes from تبنّى = to adopt.

هنجيب is made of:

• هـ = future marker, like will / going to
• نجيب = we get / we bring

So:

• هنجيب = we will get or we’ll bring

In Egyptian Arabic, جاب / يجيب is a very common verb that can mean bring or get, depending on context.

Here, هنجيب الأكل الناشف means we’ll get the dry food.

Good question. In coordinated sentences, once the future is already clear from the first verb, Egyptian Arabic can leave the future marker off the second verb:

• هنجيب ... ونتواصل ...

This still means:

• we’ll get ... and (we’ll) contact ...

So the future meaning carries over.

You could also say وهنتواصل, and that would also be natural. Leaving it off is normal because the time frame is already understood.

نتواصل means we communicate, we get in touch, or we make contact.

In this sentence, the best natural English match is probably:

• contact
• get in touch with

It is understandable and natural, but it sounds a bit more formal or neutral than very everyday spoken alternatives such as:

• نكلم الدكتور = we call/talk to the doctor
• نتصل بالدكتور = we contact/call the doctor

So نتواصل is fine, just slightly more polished or standard-sounding.

Yes, literally it is the dry food, but Arabic often uses the definite article where English would use a more general noun phrase.

So الأكل الناشف can simply mean:

• dry food
• the dry food

depending on context.

Also, the adjective has to match the noun, so if الأكل has الـ, the adjective does too:

• الأكل الناشف

That is normal Arabic agreement.

A small spelling note: in informal writing, people often write الاكل instead of the more formal الأكل.

ناشف means dry.

In everyday Egyptian Arabic, it is a very common adjective for things that are dry in texture or moisture level.

In a pet context, الأكل الناشف usually means:

• dry pet food
• kibble

So it contrasts with wet food.

الدكتور البيطري means the veterinarian / the vet.

Breaking it down:

• الدكتور = the doctor
• البيطري = veterinary / vet

In Arabic, especially in everyday usage, people often refer to a vet as a kind of doctor, so this phrasing is very natural.

You may also hear:

• دكتور بيطري = a vet / veterinary doctor

Both are common.

It is mostly Egyptian Arabic, but it has a slightly mixed feel.

Very Egyptian/common parts:

• قبل ما
• هنجيب
• الأكل الناشف

A bit more neutral, formal, or standard-leaning:

• نتواصل
• البيطري

So it sounds like natural modern spoken/written Egyptian, especially in a practical or semi-formal context, not super slangy street speech.

A more casual spoken version might be something like:

• قبل ما نتبنى، هنجيب الأكل الناشف ونكلم الدكتور البيطري

That would feel a little more conversational.
