What does each word do in the sentence?

The sentence has two parts:

• انت = you
• فين = where

So literally it is something like you, where?
In natural English, that becomes Where are you?

Why is there no word for are in this sentence?

In Egyptian Arabic, as in Arabic generally, the verb to be is usually not said in the present tense.

So instead of saying something like you are where, Egyptian Arabic just says:

• انت فين؟ = Where are you?

This is completely normal. The idea of are is understood automatically.

Is this Egyptian Arabic or Modern Standard Arabic?
