المرشح عنده شهادة ومؤهلات كويسة.

A natural Egyptian pronunciation is:

il-moraššaḥ ʿando šahāda wi moʾahhalāt kwayyisa

A few helpful notes:

• المرشح → il-moraššaḥ
• عنده → ʿando
• شهادة → šahāda
• و is often pronounced wi or we in Egyptian speech
• كويسة → kwayyisa

If you want a simpler learner-friendly version, you could write it as:

il-morashshaH 3ando shahada wi mo'ahhalat kwayyisa

Yes, literally عنده comes from عند = at / with, plus -ه = him.

But in Arabic, this is a very common way to express possession:

• عنده = he has
• عندها = she has
• عندي = I have

So in everyday Egyptian Arabic, عنده شهادة naturally means he has a degree/certificate.

Because المرشح is being introduced as the topic: the candidate. Then عنده refers back to him with a pronoun.

So the structure is basically:

The candidate — he has a degree and good qualifications.

This kind of topic + pronoun structure is very normal in Arabic.

By contrast, عند المرشح more literally means at the candidate or with the candidate, not the normal way to say the candidate has.

مرشح means candidate or nominee.

The الـ makes it definite, so:

• مرشح = a candidate
• المرشح = the candidate

So the sentence is talking about a specific candidate, not just any candidate.

Also, in pronunciation, the الـ here is pronounced clearly because م is a moon letter, so you say il-moraššaḥ, not something assimilated.

They are related, but not identical:

• شهادة usually means a certificate, diploma, or degree
• مؤهلات means qualifications

So:

• شهادة is often one concrete credential
• مؤهلات is broader and can include education, training, skills, and suitability for a job

Using both together gives the sense of:

He has a degree/certificate and solid qualifications.

It depends on context.

In a job or hiring context like this one, شهادة often means something like:

• degree
• diploma
• educational credential

In other contexts, it can also mean:

• certificate
• testimony / witness statement in legal or religious usage

Here, a learner should probably understand it as degree/diploma/credential.

This is a very common Arabic agreement pattern.

كويسة is feminine singular, and that works well here for two reasons:

1. شهادة is a feminine singular noun
2. مؤهلات is a non-human plural, and non-human plurals are very often treated like feminine singular for adjective agreement

So مؤهلات كويسة is completely natural.

This is one of those places where Arabic grammar does not match English expectations: a plural noun can still take a feminine singular adjective if it is non-human.

Because in Arabic, adjectives normally come after the noun they describe.

So:

• مؤهلات كويسة = good qualifications
• شهادة كويسة = a good degree/certificate

That is the normal word order in Arabic.

In this sentence, the adjective comes at the end of the whole phrase, which most directly matches مؤهلات, though in context it can also feel like it sums up the candidate’s credentials more generally.

Yes. كويسة is the everyday Egyptian Arabic form of good for feminine singular.

Compare:

• Egyptian: كويس / كويسة
• MSA: جيد / جيدة

So in formal written Arabic, you would more likely see:

المرشح لديه شهادة ومؤهلات جيدة.

But in Egyptian speech, كويسة sounds natural and conversational.

For a female candidate, you would say:

المرشحة عندها شهادة ومؤهلات كويسة.

Changes:

• المرشح → المرشحة = the female candidate
• عنده → عندها = she has

Some useful possession forms:

• عندي = I have
• عندك = you have
• عنده = he has
• عندها = she has
• عندنا = we have
• عندهم = they have

So this sentence is a good model for building many similar ones.
