الشاي سخن اكتر من القهوة النهارده.

A natural Egyptian pronunciation is:

esh-shāy sokhn aktar men el-'ahwa en-naharda

A few useful notes:

• الشاي sounds like esh-shāy because the ل in ال assimilates to ش
• سخن is usually pronounced sokhn
• اكتر من is aktar men
• القهوة is el-'ahwa in Egyptian; the ق is commonly pronounced like a glottal stop
• النهارده is en-naharda, with the ل assimilating to ن

You may see slightly different transliterations, but they all point to roughly the same spoken form.

Because Arabic normally leaves out the verb to be in the present tense.

So instead of saying something like The tea is hotter, Egyptian Arabic simply says:

الشاي سخن اكتر...

This is called a nominal sentence: a subject plus a predicate, with no present-tense is/are.

If you wanted the past, you would use كان:

الشاي كان سخن اكتر من القهوة امبارح
The tea was hotter than the coffee yesterday

سخن is the normal Egyptian Arabic form for hot.

In Modern Standard Arabic, you would usually expect ساخن. But Egyptian often uses different everyday adjective forms, and سخن is the common colloquial one.

So:

• Egyptian: سخن
• Standard Arabic: ساخن

This is a good example of how Egyptian Arabic has its own normal vocabulary and patterns, even when the meaning is the same.

Because سخن agrees with الشاي, not with القهوة.

The sentence is about tea being hotter, so the adjective matches tea:

• الشاي is treated as masculine
• therefore the adjective is masculine: سخن

The comparison phrase اكتر من القهوة just means more than the coffee. It does not control the adjective agreement.

If you switched the sentence around and made coffee the subject, then the adjective would become feminine:

القهوة سخنة اكتر من الشاي

اكتر من means more than.

In Egyptian Arabic, a very common way to make a comparison is:

adjective + اكتر من + noun

So here:

• سخن = hot
• اكتر من = more than

Together, سخن اكتر من gives the idea of hotter than.

English usually uses one comparative word like hotter, but Egyptian Arabic often uses this two-part structure instead.

Yes, you can.

A sentence like:

الشاي أسخن من القهوة النهارده

also means The tea is hotter than the coffee today.

The difference is mostly style:

• سخن اكتر من is very common and conversational
• أسخن من is also correct and natural, and feels a bit more compact

So both are useful to know.

Because Arabic often uses the definite article ال where English would use a bare noun.

In English, you can say:

• Tea is hotter than coffee today

But Arabic commonly says:

• الشاي ... القهوة

This can refer to tea and coffee in general, or to specific tea and coffee already understood from context. Arabic uses the definite article more often than English in these kinds of statements.

النهارده means today in Egyptian Arabic.

It is a very common colloquial word. In Modern Standard Arabic, you would more likely see اليوم.

Putting النهارده at the end is very natural. Time words in Arabic are fairly flexible, so you could also say:

النهارده الشاي سخن اكتر من القهوة

That version gives a little more emphasis to today. But the original order is completely normal.

The sentence breaks down like this:

• الشاي = subject
• سخن اكتر من القهوة = predicate
• النهارده = time expression

So the pattern is basically:

subject + description/comparison + time

This is very common in Egyptian Arabic. English needs is, but Arabic often does not, so the sentence is built more directly.
