اختي وصلت البيت امبارح.

In Arabic, possession is often shown by attaching a suffix instead of using a separate word like my.

• أخت / اخت = sister
• أختي / اختي = my sister

The -ي at the end means my.

So اختي literally breaks down as:

• اخت = sister
• ي = my

In Egyptian writing, people often write اختي without the hamza, even though the more formal spelling is أختي.

A common Egyptian pronunciation is:

ekhti weslet el-bēt embāreḥ

You may also see slightly different spellings in Latin letters, such as:

• okhti weslet el-bet embareh
• ekhty wislit il-bēt imbāriḥ

These differences happen because colloquial Arabic is not spelled in English in one fixed way.

A rough word-by-word pronunciation guide:

• اختي → ekhti / okhti
• وصلت → weslet
• البيت → el-bēt
• امبارح → embāreḥ

Because the subject is my sister, which is feminine singular.

In the past tense, Egyptian Arabic changes the verb depending on who did the action.

For the verb وصل = to arrive / to reach:

• هو وصل = he arrived
• هي وصلت = she arrived

So in your sentence:

• اختي = my sister
• وصلت = she arrived

The -ت marks the past tense form used with she.

Because Arabic often does not need an extra subject pronoun when the subject is already stated.

In English, you say:

• My sister arrived home yesterday

You do not also say:

• My sister she arrived home yesterday

Arabic works similarly here. Since اختي already tells us who the subject is, there is no need to add هي (she).

So:

• اختي وصلت = my sister arrived

not usually:

• اختي هي وصلت

That extra هي would only be used in special cases, such as emphasis.

In Egyptian Arabic, verbs like وصل often take the destination directly, without needing a preposition like to.

So:

• وصل البيت = arrived home / reached the house

This is very natural in Egyptian.

English uses arrive home with no preposition too, so this is actually similar:

• She arrived home yesterday

If you translated too literally as arrived to the house, that would sound unnatural in English, and it is also not how this Egyptian sentence is built.

Because in everyday Arabic, just like in English, the house can function as home depending on context.

• البيت literally = the house
• In many common situations, it naturally means home

So:

• وصلت البيت can mean she arrived at the house
• but in normal conversation it often means she got home / she arrived home

The exact meaning depends on context, but home is usually the most natural translation here.

Yes. Egyptian Arabic has flexible word order, especially with time expressions like امبارح (yesterday).

All of these can be natural depending on emphasis:

• اختي وصلت البيت امبارح
• امبارح اختي وصلت البيت
• اختي امبارح وصلت البيت

The original sentence is a very normal, neutral way to say it.

Putting امبارح earlier often gives a little more focus to the time:

• امبارح اختي وصلت البيت = Yesterday, my sister got home

Yes, امبارح is a common Egyptian Arabic word meaning yesterday.

It is colloquial, not Modern Standard Arabic.

• Egyptian: امبارح
• MSA: أمس

So if you were speaking naturally in Egyptian Arabic, امبارح is the right kind of word to use.

You may see it spelled in English as:

• embareh
• embarih
• imbareh

These are just different transliterations of the same Egyptian word.

It is clearly colloquial Egyptian Arabic, mainly because of امبارح.

A more Standard Arabic version would look different, for example:

• وصلت أختي إلى البيت أمس or
• أختي وصلت إلى البيت أمس

Key differences:

• امبارح is colloquial Egyptian
• أمس is Standard Arabic
• إلى البيت is more typical in Standard Arabic than the direct البيت after وصلت

So this sentence sounds like natural spoken Egyptian, not formal written Arabic.

In informal Arabic writing, especially in dialect, people often leave out some hamzas.

So both of these may refer to the same word:

• أختي
• اختي

The more careful or formal spelling is أختي, but in texting and casual dialect writing, اختي is very common.

This is normal in colloquial writing and does not change the meaning.

The verb would change to the masculine past form.

Compare:

• اختي وصلت البيت امبارح = My sister arrived home yesterday
• أخويا وصل البيت امبارح = My brother arrived home yesterday

Notice the difference:

• وصلت = she arrived
• وصل = he arrived

So the -ت disappears when the subject is masculine singular.

It can mean both, depending on context.

• وصلت البيت = she arrived home / she reached the house
• وصلت الشغل = she got to work
• وصلت للمحطة = she arrived at the station

In your sentence, arrived home or got home is the most natural English meaning.

So وصل is a useful verb with a range that includes:

• arrive
• reach
• get to

Yes, absolutely. It sounds natural and everyday.

A speaker might also say close variants like:

• اختي وصلت البيت امبارح بالليل = My sister got home yesterday at night
• اختي رجعت البيت امبارح = My sister came back home yesterday

But your sentence is perfectly normal Egyptian Arabic for everyday speech.
