هستنى هنا لحد ما الموظف يراجع الرسوم.

A rough Egyptian Arabic pronunciation would be:

hastanna hina laḥadd ma l-mowazzaf yirāgiʿ ir-rusūm

A few helpful notes:

• هستنى sounds like hastanna
• هنا sounds like hina
• الموظف is often pronounced el-/il-mowazzaf
• يراجع is often pronounced yirāgiʿ, and the ج in Egyptian is usually a hard g
• الرسوم is pronounced ir-rusūm because the ل of الـ assimilates before ر

هستنى means I’ll wait.

It is built from:

• هـ = a future marker in Egyptian Arabic
• the verb استنى / يستنى = to wait

So the whole word means I will wait or I’ll be waiting, depending on context.

A useful comparison:

• بستنى = I’m waiting / I wait
• هستنى = I’ll wait

Because the initial ا in استنى is a helping vowel, not a strong consonant that has to stay when a prefix is added.

When the future prefix هـ attaches, that helping vowel drops, so you get:

• underlyingly: هـ + استنى
• actual form: هستنى

This is normal with verbs of the استـ type.

لحد ما means until or up to the point when.

It is a very common Egyptian Arabic expression. In everyday speech, it is one of the most natural ways to say until.

Similar Egyptian alternatives include:

• لغاية ما
• sometimes just حد ما in casual speech

So here:

• هستنى هنا لحد ما... = I’ll wait here until...

Because after لحد ما, Arabic normally uses the imperfect/present form to talk about the action that has not happened yet.

So:

• لحد ما الموظف يراجع الرسوم = until the employee reviews the fees

This is similar to English, where we usually say:

• until he reviews not
• until he will review

So يراجع is exactly what you would expect here.

Here يراجع means something like:

• reviews
• checks
• goes over
• examines

In an office or official setting, it often means that a clerk or employee checks paperwork, amounts, fees, or details.

So it does not necessarily mean a deep academic review. In this context, it is more like check/verify/process.

In this sentence, الرسوم most likely means the fees or the charges.

That is a very common meaning in official, administrative, or payment-related contexts.

Be aware that رسوم can also mean other things in different contexts, such as:

• drawings
• graphics
• illustrations

But here, because of الموظف and the office-like situation, fees/charges is the natural meaning.

Because Arabic often uses the definite form when the speaker and listener both know which person or thing is being talked about.

So here:

• الموظف = the employee / the clerk
• الرسوم = the fees

This sounds natural if both are understood from the situation, for example at an office, government counter, clinic, or service desk.

If you said موظف instead of الموظف, it would mean an employee, which is less specific.

This is because of the sun letter / moon letter rule with الـ.

• ر is a sun letter, so the ل of الـ disappears in pronunciation:
  • الرسوم → ir-rusūm
• م is a moon letter, so the ل stays:
  • الموظف → el-mowazzaf or il-mowazzaf

So the spelling stays the same, but pronunciation changes depending on the next letter.

Yes, الموظف يراجع is completely normal in Egyptian Arabic.

Egyptian often prefers subject + verb order in everyday speech, especially when the subject is a full noun like الموظف.

So:

• لحد ما الموظف يراجع الرسوم sounds very natural in spoken Egyptian

You could also hear:

• لحد ما يراجع الموظف الرسوم

But that sounds a bit less conversational and a bit closer to more formal or MSA-style word order.

It is best thought of as Egyptian Arabic with some vocabulary that also exists in formal Arabic.

What makes it clearly Egyptian:

• هستنى
• لحد ما

What feels more neutral/shared with formal Arabic:

• الموظف
• يراجع
• الرسوم

That kind of mix is very common in real life, especially in office, service, or bureaucratic situations. A speaker may use Egyptian grammar and structure, while choosing vocabulary that sounds a bit more official.
