احنا عايزين نكسب الماتش.

احنا is the normal Egyptian Arabic word for we in everyday speech.

• احنا / إحنا = colloquial Egyptian we
• نحن = Modern Standard Arabic (formal/written)

So if you are learning spoken Egyptian, احنا is the natural choice. Using نحن in a sentence like this would sound much more formal or bookish.

Because the subject is احنا (we), and عايزين agrees with that plural subject.

Related forms are:

• أنا عايز = I want (said by a male)
• أنا عايزة = I want (said by a female)
• احنا عايزين = we want

For an all-female group, you may also hear عايزات, but عايزين is extremely common as the default plural in everyday Egyptian speech.

Not exactly in the strictest grammatical sense. Historically and grammatically, عايز is more like an active participle/adjectival form meaning something like wanting. But in Egyptian Arabic, it functions very much like a normal verb meaning to want.

So learners can safely treat:

• عايز = want
• عايزة = want
• عايزين = want

Even though the deeper grammar is a bit different from English verbs.

Because Egyptian Arabic does not use an English-style infinitive here.

In English, you say:

• we want to win

In Egyptian Arabic, you usually say:

• احنا عايزين نكسب

Literally, it is more like:

• we wanting we-win

That sounds strange in English, but it is normal Arabic structure. After عايز / عايزين, Egyptian Arabic usually puts the next verb directly, without a separate word meaning to.

The نـ marks first person plural in the imperfect/present form, so it tells you the verb means we ...

So:

• نكسب = we win / we gain

In this sentence, because it comes after عايزين, it is understood as to win.

This نـ is very useful to recognize in Egyptian and other Arabic varieties, because it often signals we on a verb.

You can leave it out if the context already makes the subject clear, but keeping it is very common.

So both of these can occur:

• احنا عايزين نكسب الماتش
• عايزين نكسب الماتش

However, عايزين by itself does not clearly mark person the way an English verb does. Depending on context, it could be understood as referring to we, you all, or they. Because of that, speakers often include احنا to make the subject explicit.

Because Arabic can add its definite article الـ to loanwords too.

So:

• ماتش = a match
• الماتش = the match

This is completely normal. Egyptian Arabic uses many borrowed words, and they behave like Arabic nouns in sentences.

Also, because م is a moon letter, the ل in الـ is pronounced normally, so you hear something like el-match / il-match, not an assimilated form.

Both exist.

• الماتش = very common in everyday Egyptian speech, especially for sports
• المباراة = the more standard/native Arabic word, more formal or neutral

In casual Egyptian, especially when talking about football/soccer, الماتش sounds very natural.

So this sentence sounds like normal spoken Egyptian, not formal written Arabic.

Yes, you could use نفوز, but نكسب is very common in spoken Egyptian.

A useful distinction is:

• كسب الماتش = won the match
• فاز بالماتش / فاز في الماتش = also possible, but structured differently

So كسب often takes the thing won as a direct object:

• نكسب الماتش

That is one reason this sentence looks simple and direct.

Also, كسب can mean win, gain, or earn depending on context. Here, because the object is الماتش, the meaning is clearly win the match.

A common learner-friendly transliteration would be:

eḥna ʿāyzeen nekseb il-mātsh

A few notes:

• ح in احنا is a stronger, breathier h
• ع in عايزين is the throat sound ʿayn
• ماتش has a long aa sound: mātsh

You may also see slightly different spellings in transliteration, such as:

• ehna 3ayzeen nekseb el-match
• i7na 3ayzeen nekseb el-match

Those are just different ways learners represent the same spoken sentence.

A natural Modern Standard Arabic version would be:

نحن نريد أن نفوز بالمباراة

This shows several differences from Egyptian:

• احنا → نحن
• عايزين → نريد
• no colloquial direct-verb structure; MSA often uses أن
• الماتش → المباراة

So the original sentence is very clearly Egyptian colloquial, while this version is formal standard Arabic.

It can, yes.

A fully feminine plural version would be:

احنا عايزات نكسب الماتش

But in real everyday Egyptian, many speakers still use عايزين as the common plural form, especially in casual speech.

So for an all-female group, you may hear either:

• احنا عايزات نكسب الماتش
• احنا عايزين نكسب الماتش

The first is more explicitly feminine; the second is very common colloquially.
