امتى المتدرب هيحضر؟

A common pronunciation is:

imta el-motadarrib haye7dar?

A more detailed breakdown:

• امتى = imta = when
• المتدرب = el-motadarrib = the trainee
• هيحضر = haye7dar = he will attend / he will come

A few notes:

• The 7 in haye7dar stands for the Arabic letter ح, a strong h sound.
• ال is usually pronounced el in Egyptian Arabic.
• The whole sentence sounds like: imta el-motadarrib haye7dar?

Yes. امتى means when, and it is one of the most common ways to ask when in Egyptian Arabic.

Examples:

• امتى هتيجي؟ = When will you come?
• امتى الدرس؟ = When is the lesson?

So in this sentence, امتى is simply the question word introducing a time question.

Because المتدرب contains the definite article الـ, which means the.

So:

• متدرب = a trainee / trainee
• المتدرب = the trainee

In Egyptian Arabic, الـ is usually pronounced el-, so المتدرب is pronounced el-motadarrib.

هيحضر means he will attend, he will be present, or sometimes he will come/show up, depending on context.

It comes from the verb يحضر.

In everyday Egyptian Arabic, يحضر can mean:

• to attend a class, meeting, training, etc.
• to come / show up somewhere

So هيحضر؟ could mean:

• Will he attend?
• Will he come?
• When will he show up?

The exact English wording depends on context, but the Arabic is very natural.

Because it is built from two parts:

• يـحضر = he attends / he attends regularly / he is attending
• هـ / حـ added before the present verb = future meaning, like will

So:

• يحضر = he attends / he attends regularly
• هيحضر = he will attend

In Egyptian Arabic, the future is often made with ه or ح before the present-tense verb.

Examples:

• هيروح = he will go
• هياكل = he will eat
• هيحضر = he will attend

The يـ marks he in the present tense.

So:

• يحضر = he attends
• تحضر = she attends or you attend (depending on context)
• أحضر = I attend
• نحضر = we attend

That is why هيحضر means he will attend:

• ه = future marker
• يحضر = he attends

Together: he will attend.

Yes, it is very normal in Egyptian Arabic.

The sentence is:

امتى المتدرب هيحضر؟
Literally: When the trainee will-attend?

This is a common Egyptian pattern:

• question word
  • subject
    • verb

But another very common order is:

المتدرب هيحضر امتى؟
= When will the trainee attend?

Both are natural. The version with امتى at the beginning may sound a bit more directly focused on the time.

Yes, absolutely. That is also very natural.

You can say:

• امتى المتدرب هيحضر؟
• المتدرب هيحضر امتى؟

Both mean the same thing: When will the trainee attend?

The difference is mainly one of focus and rhythm:

• امتى المتدرب هيحضر؟ starts with when, so the timing is highlighted immediately.
• المتدرب هيحضر امتى؟ starts with the trainee, then asks about the time at the end.

Both are common in spoken Egyptian Arabic.

It is specifically Egyptian Arabic in its current form.

The main clue is هيحضر for the future. In Egyptian Arabic, future is commonly formed with ه or ح plus the present verb.

In Modern Standard Arabic, you would expect something like:

• متى سيحضر المتدرب؟
• متى سوف يحضر المتدرب؟

So:

• امتى المتدرب هيحضر؟ = Egyptian Arabic
• متى سيحضر المتدرب؟ = Modern Standard Arabic

Also, امتى is colloquial, while متى is the formal/standard version.

Both mean when, but they belong to different registers:

• امتى = common in spoken Egyptian Arabic
• متى = Modern Standard Arabic, formal Arabic, writing, news, formal speech

So in everyday Egyptian conversation, امتى is the normal choice.

Examples:

• Egyptian: امتى هتوصل؟
• MSA: متى ستصل؟

If you are learning Egyptian Arabic for daily conversation, امتى is the form you will hear all the time.

Yes. In Egyptian Arabic, the future marker is often heard as حـ and sometimes written as هـ, depending on spelling style and how closely someone wants to reflect pronunciation.

So you may see or hear:

• هيحضر
• حيحضر

In practice, learners often hear something close to ḥa- or ha- before the verb.

The important thing is that this prefix marks the future:

• يحضر = he attends
• حيحضر / هيحضر = he will attend

You would normally say:

امتى المتدربة هتحضر؟

Breakdown:

• المتدربة = the female trainee
• هتحضر = she will attend

So the masculine/feminine contrast is:

• المتدرب هيحضر = the male trainee will attend
• المتدربة هتحضر = the female trainee will attend

Notice both the noun and the verb change.

It can mean both, depending on context.

Common meanings include:

• attend a class, meeting, course, event
• come / show up / be present

For example:

• هيحضر الاجتماع = He will attend the meeting
• هيحضر بكرة = He’ll come tomorrow / He’ll show up tomorrow

So in your sentence, if the context is a course or training session, attend is probably the best translation. If the focus is simply arrival or showing up, come may fit better.

Because in Egyptian Arabic, the future is often built directly into the verb with a prefix.

English:

• he will attend

Egyptian Arabic:

• هيحضر

So instead of using a separate full word like will, Egyptian Arabic usually adds ه or ح to the present-tense verb.

This is very common:

• هكتب = I will write
• هتتكلم = you/she will speak
• هنيجي = we will come
• هيحضر = he will attend

No. You do not need هو here.

The verb هيحضر already shows he through its conjugation. Also, the subject المتدرب is already stated.

So:

• امتى المتدرب هيحضر؟ = natural
• امتى المتدرب هو هيحضر؟ = usually unnecessary and not the normal way to say it

In Arabic, subject pronouns are often omitted when the verb or a noun already makes the subject clear.

The sentence has three main parts:

1. امتى = question word

   • means when

2. المتدرب = subject

   • means the trainee

3. هيحضر = future verb

   • means he will attend / he will come

So the structure is:

when + subject + future verb

That makes it a very useful model for building similar questions, such as:

• امتى الدكتور هييجي؟ = When will the doctor come?
• امتى المدرس هيوصل؟ = When will the teacher arrive?
• امتى المدير هيبدأ؟ = When will the manager start?
