على حسب التعديل، البروفة هتاخد وقت.

It means depending on or according to.

So على حسب التعديل means something like:

• depending on the alteration/edit
• according to the adjustment
• it depends on the modification

It introduces the factor that affects what comes next.

In Egyptian Arabic, على حسب is a very common everyday expression.

Using حسب by itself is more formal and feels closer to Standard Arabic. So in casual Egyptian speech, على حسب التعديل sounds more natural.

التعديل is a broad word meaning alteration, adjustment, modification, amendment, or edit.

The best English translation depends on the situation:

• clothes: alteration
• video or writing: edit
• a plan or design: modification / adjustment

So the Arabic word is flexible, even if English would choose different words in different contexts.

بروفة is a borrowed word in Egyptian Arabic. Its meaning depends a lot on context.

It can mean:

• rehearsal
• fitting / try-on, especially in clothing contexts

So you should understand it according to the situation you were given. This is a good word to learn as a context-dependent loanword.

Because بروفة is grammatically feminine.

In Egyptian Arabic, the verb agrees with the subject, so:

• البروفة هتاخد وقت = the fitting/rehearsal will take time

The تـ in تاخد shows she/it for a feminine singular subject.

It marks the future in Egyptian Arabic.

So:

• تاخد = she/it takes
• هتاخد = she/it will take or is going to take

In pronunciation, this هـ is often heard as ha-, so هتاخد is roughly hatākhod.

Yes. It comes from أخذ = to take.

In Standard Arabic, you might see تأخذ. In Egyptian Arabic, this becomes تاخد.

So this is a normal colloquial Egyptian form of the same verb.

Here وقت means time in a general sense, so it stays indefinite.

This is very similar to English:

• It will take time not
• It will take the time

So هتاخد وقت is the natural way to say it will take time.

Yes, very common.

It is a natural Egyptian way to say that something will require time. You can use it with many subjects:

• الموضوع هياخد وقت = The matter will take time
• التصليح هياخد وقت = The repair will take time
• الشغل ده هياخد وقت = This work will take time

So it is a useful everyday pattern.

Putting على حسب التعديل first highlights the condition right away.

It is like saying in English:

• Depending on the alteration, the fitting will take time

This word order is very natural when the speaker wants to frame the statement first.

You could also move it later, but the original order sounds smooth and idiomatic.

Even though it is written ال, it is not pronounced el-taʕdīl here.

That is because ت is a sun letter, so the l sound assimilates. The pronunciation is roughly:

• et-taʕdīl

This is only a pronunciation change. The spelling stays التعديل.
