What does حطيت mean exactly?

حطيت means I put or I placed.

The base verb is حطّ = to put / to place, and it is extremely common in everyday Levantine speech. It is much more natural in conversation than a formal verb like وضع.

Why does حطيت already mean I put without saying أنا?

Because the verb ending already tells you the subject.

In حطيت, the ending -يت marks first person singular in the past, so the meaning is already I put. You can add أنا if you want emphasis, but it is not necessary.

So:

• حطيت = I put
• أنا حطيت = I put / I’m the one who put
