Questions & Answers about اختار البرنامج والدرجة عشان الصوف مايكشش.
What form is اختار here?
It is the imperative form: a command to one person.
So اختار means choose / select.
In this sentence, the subject you is understood automatically, so Arabic does not need to say it explicitly.
- اختار = choose!
- implied subject = you
If you were speaking to a woman, you would usually say اختاري.
If you were speaking to more than one person, you would say اختاروا.
Why is it اختار and not اختر?
Because this sentence is in Egyptian Arabic, not Modern Standard Arabic.
- In MSA, the imperative is usually اختر.
- In Egyptian Arabic, people commonly say اختار.
So this is a normal colloquial Egyptian form, not a mistake.
Why doesn’t the sentence say you anywhere?
In Arabic, the verb itself often tells you who the subject is.
Since اختار is an imperative, it already means you choose! or choose!
That is why Arabic does not need a separate word for you here.
This is very normal in both spoken and written Arabic.
