ابريق القهوة جنب الغلاية.

A natural Egyptian pronunciation is:

ibrīʔ el-ʔahwa gamb el-ghallāya

A few helpful notes:

• الـ is usually pronounced el- in Egyptian, not al-.
• ج in جنب is usually pronounced g in Egyptian Arabic.
• ق in القهوة is often pronounced as a glottal stop ʔ in Egyptian speech, so قهوة sounds like ʔahwa.
• غ in الغلاية is the gh sound.

Because Arabic usually leaves out the present-tense to be in simple sentences like this.

So the structure is basically:

• ابريق القهوة = the coffee pot
• جنب الغلاية = next to the kettle

Literally, it is more like:

The coffee pot next to the kettle

But in natural English we say The coffee pot is next to the kettle.

This is completely normal in Egyptian Arabic and in Arabic generally.

This is a very common Arabic structure called an iḍāfa or construct phrase.

It works like:

• ابريق = pot / pitcher
• القهوة = the coffee

Together, ابريق القهوة literally means something like:

pot of the coffee

But in natural English, that becomes:

the coffee pot

Arabic often uses this noun + noun structure where English might use:

• of
• or a compound noun like coffee pot

Because in an iḍāfa construction, the first noun usually does not take الـ.

So:

• ابريق القهوة = the coffee pot
• ابريق قهوة = a coffee pot or coffee pot

The whole phrase becomes definite because the second noun, القهوة, is definite.

That is why ابريق القهوة can mean the coffee pot even though ابريق itself does not have الـ.

جنب means next to, beside, or by.

In this sentence, it tells you where the coffee pot is in relation to the kettle.

So:

• جنب الغلاية = next to the kettle

In Egyptian Arabic, جنب is very common in everyday speech.

You may also see other expressions like بجانب, but جنب is simple and very common.

Two things are happening:

• In Egyptian Arabic, ج is usually pronounced g, not j.
• The ن before ب is commonly pronounced like m in speech.

So جنب is commonly pronounced:

gamb

This kind of sound change is natural and very common in spoken Arabic.

That is a very typical Egyptian pronunciation.

In Egyptian Arabic:

• الـ is usually el-
• ق is often pronounced as a glottal stop ʔ

So:

• القهوة becomes el-ʔahwa

A learner who knows Modern Standard Arabic may expect al-qahwa, but el-ʔahwa is what you commonly hear in Egyptian speech.

Yes, often you can.

For example, you could also say:

الغلاية جنب ابريق القهوة

This would still mean basically the same thing, but the focus changes a little. Arabic often puts the thing you want to talk about first.

So:

• ابريق القهوة جنب الغلاية = the coffee pot is next to the kettle
• الغلاية جنب ابريق القهوة = the kettle is next to the coffee pot

Same spatial relationship, different starting point.

Yes, the standard spelling is usually إبريق.

In informal writing, many people simplify hamza spelling and write:

ابريق

instead of:

إبريق

So this is mostly a spelling simplification in casual writing. The word is the same word, and the pronunciation is still basically ibrīʔ.
