Questions & Answers about الزبون عايز يلغي الاشتراك.
Why is عايز used here for wants?
In Egyptian Arabic, عايز is the very common everyday way to say wanting or want for a masculine speaker/subject.
So:
- الزبون = the customer
- عايز = wants / wanting
- يلغي الاشتراك = cancel the subscription
A more formal or Modern Standard Arabic option would be something like يريد instead of عايز, but in spoken Egyptian, عايز is much more natural.
Why is it عايز and not عايزة?
Because الزبون is grammatically masculine here.
In Egyptian Arabic, عايز changes for gender:
- عايز = wanting / wants, masculine
- عايزة = wanting / wants, feminine
So:
- الزبون عايز يلغي الاشتراك = The male customer wants to cancel the subscription.
- الزبونة عايزة تلغي الاشتراك = The female customer wants to cancel the subscription.
Notice that not only عايز changes, but the following verb usually changes too:
- masculine: يلغي
- feminine: تلغي
Why is the next verb يلغي and not something with بـ like بيلغي?
