Questions & Answers about السلطة دي فيها خيار وطماطم وزيت، ومفيهاش ملح.

Why does the sentence use دي after السلطة?

دي means this in Egyptian Arabic, and it often comes after the noun.

So:

• السلطة دي = this salad

This is different from English, where this usually comes before the noun. In Egyptian Arabic, noun + دي/ده is very common:

• البنت دي = this girl
• الكتاب ده = this book
• السلطة دي = this salad

Because سلطة is grammatically feminine, it takes دي. A masculine noun would usually take ده.

Why is it السلطة دي and not just سلطة دي?

الـ is the definite article, like the in English.

So:

• سلطة = a salad / salad
• السلطة = the salad
• السلطة دي = this salad

In Egyptian Arabic, when you say this + noun, it is very common to use the noun in its definite form:

• البيت ده = this house
• العربية دي = this car
• السلطة دي = this salad

So السلطة دي is the normal way to say this salad.
