Questions & Answers about مسؤول التوظيف مش بس ناقش المؤهلات، كمان سال عن الشهادة.

What does مش بس ... كمان mean?

This is a very common Egyptian Arabic pattern meaning not only ... but also ...

So in your sentence:

• مش بس ناقش المؤهلات = he didn’t just discuss the qualifications
• كمان سال عن الشهادة = he also asked about the degree/certificate

A very useful chunk to memorize is:

• مش بس ..., كمان ...
• not only ..., also ...

In everyday Egyptian speech, this pattern is extremely common.

Why is مش used here?

In this sentence, مش is part of the fixed expression مش بس.

• مش = not
• بس = only / just

So مش بس literally means not just or not only.

Even if you know that Egyptian Arabic often uses ما...ش to negate verbs, here you should think of مش بس as a set phrase. It is the normal way to say not only in everyday speech.

For example:

• مش بس قرا الكتاب، كمان كتب ملخص = He didn’t just read the book, he also wrote a summary
