Questions & Answers about هيقيس الجرعة في المكيال دلوقتي.

How is هيقيس الجرعة في المكيال دلوقتي pronounced?

A common Egyptian pronunciation is:

hayiʔīs el-gorʿa fil-mikyāl دلwaʔti

A few useful sound notes:

• ق in يقيس is usually pronounced as a glottal stop ʔ in Cairene Egyptian, so يقيس sounds like yiʔīs
• ج in الجرعة is usually pronounced g in Egyptian Arabic, so it sounds like gorʿa
• في المكيال is often pronounced smoothly together as fil-mikyāl
• دلوقتي is commonly pronounced delwaʔti or dilwaʔti

Is the هي at the beginning a separate word meaning she?

No. In هيقيس, the beginning is not the separate pronoun هي meaning she.

Here, هيقيس is one verb form:

• هـ = future marker, meaning something like will or going to
• يـ = the normal imperfect prefix for he

So هيقيس means he will measure, not she ...

This is a very common thing learners misread at first.

Why is it هيقيس and not بيقيس?
