Questions & Answers about القسط الشهري على حسب مدة السداد.

How do I pronounce القسط الشهري على حسب مدة السداد in Egyptian Arabic?

A natural Egyptian-style pronunciation would be:

el-'est esh-shahri ʿala 7asab moddet es-sadad

A few useful pronunciation notes:

• القسط is often pronounced el-'est in Egyptian, because ق is commonly pronounced like a glottal stop.
• الشهري becomes esh-shahri, not el-shahri, because ش is a sun letter, so the l in الـ assimilates.
• مدة is pronounced modda by itself, but here it becomes moddet because it is followed by another noun in a possessive-type structure: مدة السداد.

Why is الشهري after القسط instead of before it?

Because in Arabic, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe.

So:

• القسط = the installment
• الشهري = monthly

Together:

• القسط الشهري = the monthly installment

This is the normal Arabic word order:

• noun first
• adjective second

Also, the adjective must match the noun in definiteness. Since القسط has الـ, the adjective also has الـ:

• القسط الشهري not
• القسط شهري
