A few pronunciation notes for Egyptian Arabic:

• ج in Egyptian Arabic is usually pronounced like g in go, so الجملة sounds like el-gomla, not el-jumla.
• The definite article ال is usually pronounced el- in Egyptian.
• Short vowels are often not written, so you have to learn them from hearing native speakers.

ازاي means how in Egyptian Arabic.

It is one of the most common Egyptian Arabic question words, and it is very conversational and natural.

Examples:

• ازاي حالك؟ = How are you?
• ازاي أروح هناك؟ = How do I go there?
• ازاي اقول الجملة دي بالمصري؟ = How do I say this sentence in Egyptian Arabic?

You may also see it written as:

• ازاي
• إزاي
• إزّاي

These are just spelling variations. The meaning is the same.

اقول means I say or I say / should say / do I say, depending on context.

In this sentence, it means do I say after ازاي:

• ازاي اقول... = How do I say...

This verb comes from the root related to saying:

• قال = he said
• يقول = he says
• أقول / اقول = I say

In everyday Egyptian writing, the hamza is often omitted, so you may see:

• أقول
• اقول

Both represent the same word in informal writing.

Because Arabic verbs already contain subject information.

In اقول, the verb itself already tells you the subject is I.

So:

• اقول = I say
• You do not need to add أنا unless you want emphasis.

Compare:

• ازاي اقول الجملة دي بالمصري؟ = How do I say this sentence in Egyptian?
• ازاي أنا اقول الجملة دي بالمصري؟ = possible, but sounds emphatic or marked, not the default

In normal speech, leaving out أنا is the natural choice.

In Egyptian Arabic, the usual way to say this sentence is:

• الجملة دي

This structure is very common:

• noun + دي for feminine singular
• noun + ده for masculine singular

So:

• الجملة دي = this sentence
• الكتاب ده = this book

This is different from English, where this comes before the noun.

Since جملة is feminine, Egyptian Arabic uses دي.

دي is the feminine singular demonstrative in Egyptian Arabic, meaning this.

Because جملة is a feminine noun, you say:

• الجملة دي = this sentence

Compare:

• الكلمة دي = this word
• البنت دي = this girl

For masculine nouns, Egyptian Arabic usually uses ده:

• الولد ده = this boy
• الكتاب ده = this book

So the choice of دي depends on the gender of جملة.

بالمصري literally means in Egyptian or in Egyptian Arabic.

It is made of:

• بـ = with / in / by
• ال = the
• مصري = Egyptian

So:

• بالمصري = in Egyptian

In context, it means in Egyptian Arabic or in the Egyptian dialect.

You could think of it as a natural short way to say:

• باللهجة المصرية = in the Egyptian dialect

Both are understandable, but بالمصري is shorter and very natural in conversation.

Yes, it is very natural and idiomatic.

A native speaker could easily say:

• ازاي اقول الجملة دي بالمصري؟

It sounds casual and everyday, which is exactly what you want in Egyptian Arabic.

Some close alternatives are:

• ازاي أقول الجملة دي باللهجة المصرية؟
• أقول الجملة دي بالمصري ازاي؟

These all work, but ازاي اقول الجملة دي بالمصري؟ is simple, clear, and very common in style.

Yes. This pattern is very useful.

You can replace الجملة دي with other things:

• ازاي اقول الكلمة دي بالمصري؟ = How do I say this word in Egyptian?
• ازاي اقول الاسم ده بالمصري؟ = How do I say this name in Egyptian?
• ازاي اقول ده بالمصري؟ = How do I say this in Egyptian?

This makes the sentence a great template for learners.

Useful pattern:

• ازاي اقول + [thing] + بالمصري؟

Yes, definitely.

In Modern Standard Arabic, you would say something more like:

• كيف أقول هذه الجملة بالمصرية؟
• or more naturally in a formal style, كيف أقول هذه الجملة باللهجة المصرية؟

The Egyptian Arabic sentence is different in several ways:

• ازاي instead of formal كيف
• الجملة دي instead of هذه الجملة
• more conversational rhythm and vocabulary

So this sentence is clearly dialectal, not formal written Arabic.

Yes. In informal Egyptian Arabic writing, spelling can vary a lot.

You may see:

• ازاي / إزاي
• اقول / أقول
• الجملة sometimes written without full vowel guidance, as usual in Arabic script
• بالمصري very consistently written this way, though pronunciation is bel-masri

So all of these are normal:

• ازاي اقول الجملة دي بالمصري؟
• إزاي أقول الجملة دي بالمصري؟

Learners should focus more on recognizing the forms than expecting just one fixed spelling.

The word order is:

• ازاي = how
• اقول = I say / do I say
• الجملة دي = this sentence
• بالمصري = in Egyptian

So the structure is roughly:

• How + do I say + this sentence + in Egyptian?

This is a very normal Egyptian Arabic order. Arabic does not always match English word-for-word, but in this sentence the structure is fairly easy to follow.
