حضرتك عمرك رحت البحر في الصيف مع صحابك؟

حضرتك is a polite way to say you in Egyptian Arabic. Literally, it comes from the idea of your presence, but in real life it just functions as a respectful you.

It is commonly used:

• with strangers
• with older people
• with customers
• in polite everyday conversation

If you were talking to a close friend, you would more likely say إنت instead:

• إنت عمرك رحت البحر في الصيف مع صحابك؟

So this sentence is colloquial Egyptian, but with a respectful tone.

Here, عمرك does not mean your literal age.

In this pattern, عمرك + past verb means:

• have you ever ... ?
• in your life, have you ever ... ?

So عمرك رحت...؟ means have you ever gone...?

Literally, عمر is connected to life / age / lifetime, so the expression gives the idea of at any time in your life.

This is a very common Egyptian pattern:

• عمرك شفت الفيلم ده؟ = Have you ever seen that movie?
• عمرك سافرت بره؟ = Have you ever traveled abroad?

Because Arabic often uses the past tense for completed life experiences.

So in Egyptian Arabic, the idea of have you ever gone is naturally expressed with:

• عمرك رحت؟

Even though English uses the present perfect, Egyptian Arabic usually uses a past tense verb after عمرك.

So:

• عمرك رحت البحر؟ = Have you ever been/gone to the beach?

This is normal and natural in Egyptian.

That is very normal in Egyptian Arabic.

In English you say go to the beach, but in Egyptian Arabic, verbs of motion often take the destination without a separate word like to.

So:

• رحت البحر = went to the beach
• رحت البيت = went home
• نزلت الشارع = went down to the street

In Modern Standard Arabic, you would more often see إلى:

• ذهبتُ إلى البحر

But in Egyptian colloquial, رحت البحر is the natural everyday way to say it.

Literally, البحر means the sea.

But in Egyptian Arabic, it very often means:

• the beach
• the seaside
• the coast
• a trip to the sea/beach

So in everyday speech, رحت البحر usually means something like went to the beach / seaside, not just physically went to the water itself.

Context decides the most natural English meaning.

صحابك means your friends.

It is a very common Egyptian colloquial word:

• صحاب = friends
• صحابك = your friends

A few comparisons:

• صحابك = very natural, everyday Egyptian
• أصحابك = also possible, but صحابك sounds more colloquial
• أصدقائك = more formal / Modern Standard Arabic

So if you are learning spoken Egyptian, صحابك is exactly the kind of word you want to know.

A natural pronunciation is:

ḥaḍretak ʿomrak roḥt el-baḥr fiṣ-ṣēf maʿ ṣaḥābak?

A simpler English-style transliteration would be:

hadretak omrak roht el-bahr fis-seef ma‘a sahabak?

A few pronunciation notes:

• ح in حضرتك and صحابك is a stronger, breathier h
• ع in عمرك is a throat sound with no exact English equivalent
• رحت is pronounced roughly roht
• الصيف becomes iṣ-ṣēf in pronunciation because ص is a sun letter, so the l sound of ال disappears

It is colloquial Egyptian Arabic, so it is not formal in the Modern Standard Arabic sense.

But inside colloquial Egyptian, it sounds polite because of حضرتك.

So the overall feel is:

• spoken
• natural
• respectful

That makes it suitable for:

• someone you do not know well
• an older person
• a polite conversation

If you said it to a close friend, you would probably make it less formal:

• إنت عمرك رحت البحر في الصيف مع صحابك؟

Yes, the verb would normally change in speech.

To a man:

• حضرتك عمرك رحت البحر في الصيف مع صحابك؟

To a woman:

• حضرتك عمرك رُحتي البحر في الصيف مع صحابك؟
• often written رحتي

The difference is in the you went form:

• رحت = you went (to a man)
• رُحتي / رحتي = you went (to a woman)

In everyday writing, short vowels are often not written, so you may see some spelling variation.

For a group, you would change both the pronoun and the verb:

• حضراتكم عمركم رحتوا البحر في الصيف مع صحابكم؟

Main changes:

• حضرتك → حضراتكم = you all / your honors
• عمرك → عمركم = in your lives
• رحت → رحتوا = you all went
• صحابك → صحابكم = your friends

So the grammar shifts to plural all the way through.

Some natural answers in Egyptian Arabic would be:

Yes:

• أيوه، رحت قبل كده. = Yes, I’ve been before.
• أيوه، رحت البحر كتير. = Yes, I’ve gone to the beach a lot.
• أيوه، بروح مع صحابي كل صيف. = Yes, I go with my friends every summer.

No:

• لا، عمري ما رحتش البحر في الصيف مع صحابي. = No, I’ve never gone to the beach in the summer with my friends.
• لا، لسه ما رحتش. = No, I haven’t gone yet.

A very useful negative pattern is:

• عمري ما ... ش
• as in عمري ما رحتش = I’ve never gone

Yes, this sentence is clearly Egyptian Arabic.

Signs of that include:

• حضرتك
• عمرك used in this conversational way
• رحت
• صحابك

A Modern Standard Arabic version might be:

هل ذهبتَ يومًا إلى البحر في الصيف مع أصدقائك؟

Or more naturally in formal Arabic:

هل سبق لك أن ذهبتَ إلى البحر في الصيف مع أصدقائك؟

Compared with the Egyptian sentence, these sound more formal, bookish, and less like everyday conversation in Egypt.
