Questions & Answers about كل ما نطلع السطح، بنسمع الجرس من المدخل اللي تحت.

What does كل ما mean here?

كل ما means whenever, every time, or each time that.

So:

• كل ما نطلع السطح = whenever we go up to the roof
• It introduces something that happens repeatedly, not just one time.

This is different from a simple when in a one-time situation. كل ما strongly suggests a repeated pattern.

Why is there no separate word for we in the sentence?

Because the verb already includes the subject.

In Egyptian Arabic:

• نطلع = we go up / we go out / we climb
• بنسمع = we hear

The نـ at the beginning shows we. Arabic often does not need a separate pronoun unless you want extra emphasis.

So you could say إحنا بنسمع, but it is not necessary here.

Why is it نطلع but بنسمع? Why does one verb have بـ and the other one doesn’t?
