Questions & Answers about انا مش بس هجهز السيرة الذاتية، كمان هاقرا اعلان الوظيفة.
What does مش بس ... كمان mean in this sentence?
It means not only ... but also ...
So:
- أنا مش بس هجهز السيرة الذاتية = I'm not only going to prepare the CV
- كمان هاقرا اعلان الوظيفة = I'm also going to read the job advertisement
This is a very common pattern in Egyptian Arabic.
Why is مش used here?
Here, مش is part of the fixed expression مش بس = not just / not only.
So it is not simply negating the verb by itself. The whole pattern is:
مش بس + clause, كمان + clause
= not only + clause, but also + clause
That is why مش sounds natural here.
What does the هـ in هجهز and هاقرا mean?
It marks the future, like will or going to in English.
- هجهز = I will prepare
- هاقرا = I will read
In Egyptian Arabic, this future marker is pronounced ha-. In writing, people may spell it in slightly different ways, such as هـ or حـ, especially in informal writing.
Is أنا necessary here?
