الكاشير قال ان مافيش فكة النهارده.

This is Egyptian Arabic (spoken colloquial Arabic), not Modern Standard Arabic.

A few clues:

• مافيش is a very common Egyptian way to say there isn’t / there aren’t
• النهارده means today in Egyptian; in MSA you would usually say اليوم
• الكاشير is a colloquial borrowing used in everyday speech

A more MSA-like version would be something like:

• قال أمين الصندوق إنه لا توجد فكة اليوم or more naturally in modern usage:
• قال الكاشير إنه لا توجد فكة اليوم

الكاشير means the cashier.

It is a borrowed word, ultimately from English cashier, and it is very common in Egypt. In everyday speech, many people will say الكاشير instead of a more formal Arabic term.

Breakdown:

• الـ = the
• كاشير = cashier

So الكاشير literally means the cashier.

A common pronunciation would be:

el-kāsheer 'āl in māfīsh fikka en-nahārda

A slightly more Egyptian-style rough pronunciation:

• الكاشير → el-kāsheer
• قال → 'āl
• ان → in
• مافيش → mafīsh
• فكة → fikka or fekka depending on speaker
• النهارده → en-nahārda

قال means he said.

It is the past tense of the verb to say:

• قال = he said
• قالت = she said

So in this sentence, الكاشير قال means the cashier said.

Because the sentence is talking about something the cashier already said, so Egyptian Arabic uses the past tense:

• قال = he said
• يقول = he says / he is saying

So:

• الكاشير قال... = The cashier said...
• الكاشير بيقول... = The cashier is saying / says...

In Egyptian Arabic, the present tense is often marked with بـ:

• بيقول = he says / he’s saying

Here ان means that.

So:

• قال ان... = he said that...

In careful writing, you may also see إن or إنه in other contexts, but in colloquial writing people often just write ان.

So the structure is:

• الكاشير قال ان مافيش فكة النهارده
• The cashier said that there’s no change today

In English, that can often be omitted, and the same is true in Arabic speech sometimes too.

مافيش means there isn’t / there aren’t / there is no / there are no.

It is one of the most useful words in Egyptian Arabic.

Examples:

• مافيش وقت = There isn’t time
• مافيش مشكلة = There’s no problem
• مافيش ناس = There are no people

In your sentence:

• مافيش فكة = there’s no change

Yes. مافيش is basically the Egyptian existential negative.

You can think of it as coming from:

• في = there is / there are
• ما...ش = a common Egyptian negation pattern

So very roughly:

• في = there is
• مافيش = there isn’t

Compare:

• في فكة = There is change
• مافيش فكة = There isn’t any change

This is why مافيش is so common in everyday Egyptian Arabic.

فكة means change, especially small change like coins or small bills.

For example, if you pay with a large bill and the cashier cannot break it, they may say:

• مافيش فكة = There’s no change

So this is not change in the sense of transformation. It specifically means money to give back, especially smaller denominations.

Because in Egyptian Arabic, مافيش + noun often already gives the sense of there isn’t any / there are no.

So:

• مافيش فكة = There isn’t any change
• مافيش وقت = There isn’t any time
• مافيش فلوس = There isn’t any money

Arabic does not always need a separate word matching English any.

النهارده means today, and yes, it is very typical of Egyptian Arabic.

Equivalent in MSA:

• اليوم = today

So:

• النهارده = everyday Egyptian
• اليوم = formal / standard

You will hear النهارده constantly in Egypt.

Because this sentence is in normal spoken Egyptian Arabic, not formal Arabic.

In dialect, people usually choose the everyday spoken word:

• النهارده = today

In formal writing, news, textbooks, or MSA, you are more likely to see:

• اليوم

This is a very common difference between dialect and standard Arabic.

Because مافيش already carries the meaning there isn’t / there aren’t.

English uses:

• there is
• there isn’t

Egyptian Arabic often uses:

• في = there is
• مافيش = there isn’t

So مافيش فكة already means there is no change, without needing a separate word like English there.

Yes, very often.

Literally it means:

• There’s no change

But in real-life situations, it often implies:

• I don’t have change to give you
• We can’t break your bill
• Please pay with smaller money or exact change

So the literal wording is short, but the practical meaning can be broader.

In informal writing, you may see both:

• مافيش
• ما فيش

Both represent the same spoken form in Egyptian Arabic.

Colloquial Arabic spelling is not always fully standardized, so small variations like this are normal.

Yes, in speech people may sometimes drop it.

So you may hear:

• الكاشير قال مافيش فكة النهارده

This still means:

• The cashier said there’s no change today

Using ان makes the connection said that... more explicit, but omitting it in casual speech is very normal.

The sentence follows a very common spoken pattern:

• الكاشير = the subject
• قال = the verb
• ان مافيش فكة النهارده = the reported statement

So literally:

• The cashier said that there isn’t change today

Inside the reported clause:

• مافيش = there isn’t
• فكة = change
• النهارده = today

This is a natural Egyptian word order.

It is basically neutral.

It simply reports what the cashier said:

• The cashier said there’s no change today

By itself, it is not rude. Tone and context would decide whether it sounds apologetic, annoyed, matter-of-fact, or dismissive.

For example, a cashier might say more politely:

• معلش، مافيش فكة النهارده which adds sorry / excuse me.

A cashier directly speaking might say something like:

• مافيش فكة النهارده
• معلش، مافيش فكة
• عندك فكة؟
• معيش فكة if they mean I don’t have change

So your sentence is a reported version:

• الكاشير قال ان مافيش فكة النهارده = The cashier said that there’s no change today

Good question. They are related but slightly different:

• مافيش فكة = There is no change
• معيش فكة = I don’t have change

So:

• مافيش is more general or situational
• معيش specifically means with me / I have not

Examples:

• مافيش فكة في المحل = There’s no change in the shop
• معيش فكة = I don’t have any change on me

In real life, both can be used in similar situations.

Yes. This sentence is a very good model.

Useful pattern:

• مافيش + noun + time expression

Examples:

• مافيش فكة النهارده = There isn’t any change today
• مافيش شغل النهارده = There’s no work today
• مافيش درس النهارده = There’s no lesson today

So this sentence teaches a very useful everyday structure in Egyptian Arabic.
