بقالي يومين عايز اتمشى بعد الشغل، بس الجو يا مطر يا هوا.

It means for the last two days or I’ve been ... for two days now.

In Egyptian Arabic, بقالـ + pronoun is a very common pattern for talking about how long something has been going on:

• بقالي = I’ve been / for me, it’s been
• بقالك = you’ve been
• بقاله = he’s been

So بقالي يومين عايز اتمشى means I’ve been wanting to go for a walk for two days now.

Because يومين is the Egyptian Arabic dual form of يوم.

• يوم = a day
• يومين = two days

In Egyptian Arabic, the dual often ends in -ين. Unlike Standard Arabic, Egyptian usually does not switch between -ان and -ين based on case, so يومين is the normal everyday form.

عايز is the everyday Egyptian way to say wanting / wanting to, and in practice it works like want.

So:

• أنا عايز = I want / I’m wanting
• أنا عايزة = I want, said by a woman

Grammatically, it behaves more like an adjective or participle than a normal verb, but learners can safely think of it as the usual Egyptian word for want.

You may also hear عاوز instead of عايز. Both are common in Egyptian Arabic.

Because in Egyptian Arabic, after عايز, you normally go straight to the next verb.

So Egyptian says:

• عايز أتمشى

where Standard Arabic would more likely say:

• أريد أن أتمشّى

Also, in informal Egyptian writing, the hamza on أ is often left out, so اتمشى is just a casual spelling of أتمشى.

Not exactly. أتمشى / اتمشى usually means go for a walk, take a walk, or stroll.

It often suggests walking for pleasure, relaxation, or fresh air, not just walking as a way to get somewhere.

So:

• عايز أتمشى = I want to go for a walk

If you wanted to say simple walking in a more general sense, أمشي can also be used, but أتمشى is especially good for take a walk.

بعد الشغل means after work.

• بعد = after
• الشغل = work, job, the workplace, work duties

In Egyptian Arabic, الشغل is the normal everyday word for work.
A more formal word would be العمل, but in speech Egyptians much more often say الشغل.

Here بس means but.

So the sentence is making a contrast:

• I’ve been wanting to go for a walk after work, but the weather...

This word can also mean only or just in other contexts, but here it clearly means but.

No. Here يا ... يا ... is not the vocative particle.

In this pattern, يا ... يا ... means either ... or ....

So:

• يا مطر يا هوا = either rain or wind
• more naturally in English: either it’s rainy or it’s windy

This is a very common colloquial pattern, and it can confuse learners because يا also has the separate meaning O / hey when calling someone.

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

So in Egyptian Arabic, a sentence like:

• الجو مطر
• الجو هوا

does not need a separate word for is.

That is why الجو يا مطر يا هوا can mean:

• the weather is either rainy or windy
• literally, something like the weather, either rain or wind

This kind of omission is completely normal in Arabic present-tense sentences.

Here it means wind.

The word هوا in Egyptian can refer to air or wind, depending on context. In a weather sentence like this, English speakers should understand it as wind or windy weather.

So:

• مطر = rain / rainy
• هوا = wind / windy

In this sentence, the idea is that the weather is unpleasant for walking because it is either rainy or windy.
