Questions & Answers about حضرتك ممكن تبعتلي صورة البطاقة على الايميل؟
What does حضرتك do in this sentence?
حضرتك is a polite way to say you in Egyptian Arabic. It adds respect, similar to saying sir/ma’am or using a more formal you in English.
In this sentence, it makes the request sound courteous:
- حضرتك ممكن...؟ = Could you... ? / Would you be able to... ?
A few useful notes:
- It can be used for both men and women.
- In everyday Egyptian Arabic, people often use it in customer service, business, or when speaking respectfully to someone they don’t know well.
- Without حضرتك, the sentence would still be understandable, but less polite.
Why is ممكن used here?
ممكن literally means possible, but in everyday Egyptian Arabic it is very commonly used to make polite requests.
So:
- ممكن تبعتلي...؟ = Can you send me... ? / Could you send me... ?
It softens the request. Compare:
- ابعتلي صورة البطاقة = Send me a picture of the ID card → more direct
- ممكن تبعتلي صورة البطاقة؟ → softer, more polite
- حضرتك ممكن تبعتلي...؟ → even more polite
