Questions & Answers about المجلد على الكمبيوتر فيه النسخة الاحتياطية السحابية.

What does فيه mean here? Is it there is, or does it mean in it?

Here it is doing both jobs at once.

In Egyptian Arabic, فيه can literally mean in it, but very often it is also used like there is / it has depending on context.

In this sentence:

المجلد على الكمبيوتر فيه النسخة الاحتياطية السحابية

the sense is:

• the folder on the computer
• has / contains
• the cloud backup

So فيه is best understood here as it contains or it has inside it.

A very literal breakdown would be:

• في = in
• ـه = it / him

So literally: in it. But in natural English, you would usually translate it as has or contains here.

Why is the sentence structured this way instead of using a direct verb like contains?
