المرشح واثق وبيجاوب كويس.

A rough Egyptian pronunciation is:

el-moraššaḥ wāseʔ wi-biygāweb kwayyis

A few helpful notes:

• الـ is usually pronounced el- or il-
• ج in Egyptian Arabic is usually a hard g sound
• ث in واثق is often pronounced like s in Egyptian speech
• ق is often pronounced as a glottal stop ʔ
• كويس is commonly said as kwayyis or kowayyis

Exact pronunciation can vary a little by speaker.

Because in Arabic, the verb to be is usually omitted in the present tense.

So:

• المرشح واثق literally looks like the candidate confident
• but it means the candidate is confident

This is completely normal in both Egyptian Arabic and Standard Arabic.

If you wanted past tense, you would use a verb such as كان:

• المرشح كان واثق = the candidate was confident

Because here واثق is a predicate adjective, not an adjective directly modifying the noun.

So:

• المرشح واثق = the candidate is confident

But:

• المرشح الواثق = the confident candidate

That is a very important difference in Arabic:

• noun + adjective with matching definiteness = adjective directly describes the noun
• definite noun + bare adjective = a sentence, often meaning X is Y

No. In واثق, the و is just part of the word itself.

• واثق = confident

The و that means and is the one attached to بيجاوب:

• وبيجاوب = and he answers

So the two و letters are not doing the same job here.

Because short particles like و meaning and are normally written attached to the following word in Arabic.

So:

• و + بيجاوب becomes وبيجاوب

This is standard Arabic spelling behavior. The same thing happens with other short attached words too.

In Egyptian Arabic, بيـ often marks the normal present tense, especially for actions that are ongoing, repeated, or generally true.

So:

• بيجاوب = he answers / he is answering

In this sentence, it gives the idea that answering well is part of the candidate’s current behavior or general performance.

This bi- prefix is very common in Egyptian Arabic verbs.

Because the verb form itself shows third person masculine singular.

• بيجاوب = he answers
• the subject is already stated: المرشح

Arabic often does not need a separate word for he if the subject is already clear.

So the sentence works like this:

• المرشح = the candidate
• واثق = confident
• وبيجاوب كويس = and he answers well

Yes, كويس basically means good, but in Egyptian Arabic it is also very commonly used where English would use well.

So:

• بيجاوب كويس = he answers well

This is very natural in Egyptian Arabic. Colloquial Arabic often uses adjective-like words in places where English prefers an -ly adverb.

Because this is Egyptian Arabic, not formal Standard Arabic.

In Egyptian speech, جاوب / يجاوب is a very common verb for to answer.

So:

• بيجاوب is a normal Egyptian way to say he answers

A learner will often notice that dialect verbs are different from the Standard Arabic forms they may have seen in textbooks. That is normal.

The structure is:

• المرشح = subject
• واثق = predicate adjective
• و = and
• بيجاوب كويس = verbal phrase

So the sentence is basically:

subject + description + and + action

This is a very natural way to describe someone in Egyptian Arabic.

You would usually say:

المرشحة واثقة وبتجاوب كويس

Changes:

• المرشح → المرشحة = feminine noun
• واثق → واثقة = feminine adjective
• بيجاوب → بتجاوب = feminine verb form

Notice that كويس stays the same here because it is functioning like well, not directly agreeing with the noun.

A natural negative version would be:

المرشح مش واثق وما بيجاوبش كويس

This breaks down as:

• مش واثق = not confident
• ما بيجاوبش = does not answer

So Egyptian Arabic often negates:

• adjectives with مش
• verbs with ما...ش

You may also hear slight variations in fast speech, but this pattern is very common.
