لبست هدومي وروحت الشغل.

Because the verbs already show the subject.

In Egyptian Arabic past tense, the ending -ت marks I. So:

• لبست = I wore / I put on
• روحت = I went

You can add أنا if you want emphasis or contrast, but it is not necessary:

• أنا لبست هدومي وروحت الشغل

They are both in the past tense.

More technically, Arabic grammar often calls this the perfect form, but for an English-speaking learner, the important thing is that both verbs describe completed actions:

• لبست = I got dressed / I put on
• روحت = I went

The sentence is narrating two past actions in sequence.

It can literally mean I put on my clothes / I wore my clothes, but in normal context it often naturally means I got dressed.

So even though the wording is literally about clothes, the everyday sense is often just:

• I got dressed

That is a very common way Arabic expresses this idea.

هدومي is made of:

• هدوم = clothes
• -ي = my

So هدومي means my clothes.

A native English speaker may notice that this is not the same as the more formal Arabic word ملابس. That is because هدوم is a very common Egyptian colloquial word. It sounds natural in everyday speech.

Because a noun with a possessive ending is already definite.

If you say هدومي, that already means my clothes, so you do not add الـ.

This is a general Arabic pattern:

• بيتي = my house
• أختي = my sister
• هدومي = my clothes

So الـ and a possessive suffix normally do not go together here.

Because in Arabic writing, short connecting words like و are written attached to the following word.

So:

• و = and
• روحت = I went
• وروحت = and I went

This is completely normal Arabic spelling.

Literally, و means and.

But in a sentence like this, where two past actions are told one after another, it often feels like and then in English:

• I got dressed, and then I went to work

So the basic meaning is and, but the context gives it a natural sense of sequence.

It comes from the verb راح, which means to go in Egyptian Arabic.

In the past tense:

• راح = he went
• روحت = I went

This verb changes shape a bit when endings are added, so the jump from راح to روحت is normal.

You may also see it written in Latin letters as:

• ro7t
• ru7t

The 7 is a common chat-style way to represent the Arabic letter ح.

Because Egyptian Arabic often says destinations directly after verbs of motion, especially with common places like:

• home
• school
• work

So روحت الشغل is a normal colloquial way to say:

• I went to work

In more formal Arabic, you would usually expect something like إلى:

• ذهبتُ إلى العمل

But in everyday Egyptian, dropping that separate to-word is very common in sentences like this.

Here الشغل means work, the job, or the workplace, depending on how you want to phrase it in English.

In this sentence, the idea is simply:

• I went to work

Egyptian شغل / الشغل is a very common everyday word. It can refer to:

• work in general
• a job
• the place where you work

The exact English wording depends on context.

Because الشغل is normally used as a definite noun here, something like the work / the job / work as a known destination.

In Arabic, places and familiar institutions are often expressed with the definite article in ways that do not always sound literally definite in English.

So الشغل is the natural everyday form in this kind of sentence.

Because ش is a sun letter.

The definite article in Egyptian Arabic is usually pronounced el- or il-, but before sun letters, the l sound assimilates to the next consonant.

So:

• underlying article: el-/il-
• word: شغل
• result: esh-shoghl / ish-shoghl

That is why you hear a doubled sh sound.

A common Cairene-style pronunciation would be:

libist huduumi wi ru7t ish-shoghl

You may also hear small vowel differences depending on the speaker, for example:

• esh-shoghl vs ish-shoghl
• ru7t vs ro7t

That kind of variation is normal in colloquial Arabic transcription.

A natural MSA equivalent would be something like:

لبستُ ثيابي وذهبتُ إلى العمل

or

ارتديتُ ثيابي ثم ذهبتُ إلى العمل

This helps show some key Egyptian features in your sentence:

• هدومي instead of a more formal word like ثيابي or ملابسي
• روحت instead of ذهبتُ
• no separate إلى before الشغل in the colloquial version
