Questions & Answers about اختي راحت الماكينة عشان تعمل سحب قبل ما البنك يقفل.
Why is it اختي and not أختي?
In careful Standard Arabic spelling, my sister is usually written أختي.
In everyday Egyptian writing, especially in chats or informal examples, people often drop the hamza and write اختي instead. So:
- أختي = more standard spelling
- اختي = very common informal spelling
They mean the same thing here: my sister.
Why does راحت end in -ت?
راحت means she went.
The verb is:
- راح = he went
- راحت = she went
That final -ت marks the feminine singular in the past tense.
So in this sentence:
- اختي = my sister
- راحت = went
Together: My sister went.
Is راح / راحت really used in Egyptian for to go?
Yes. In Egyptian Arabic, راح is a very common verb meaning to go.
Examples:
- أنا رحت = I went
- هو راح = he went
- هي راحت = she went
- إحنا رحنا = we went
This is one of the normal everyday ways to say go/went in Egyptian.
