بلغت عن السرقة مبارح.

A common Levantine pronunciation is:

ballaġt ʿan is-sərʔa mbāreḥ

A few notes:

• بلّغت = ballaġt
• عن = ʿan
• السرقة is often pronounced is-sərʔa or something close to it, depending on the speaker
• مبارح = mbāreḥ

Some sounds that may feel new to an English speaker:

• غ in بلّغت is a gh sound
• ع in عن is the letter ʿayn, a throat sound
• ح in مبارح is a stronger, breathier h

Pronunciation varies across Levantine regions, so small vowel differences are normal.

Here, بلّغت means reported or informed about.

In this sentence, it means:

• I reported
• or, depending on context, you reported when speaking to one man

The verb comes from بلّغ, which means to report / inform / notify.

One important spelling note: in everyday Arabic writing, short vowels and the shadda are usually not written, so بلغت can represent بلّغت.

Because Arabic commonly uses بلّغ عن for reporting something, especially a crime or problem.

So:

• بلّغت عن السرقة = I reported the theft
• literally, it is closer to I reported about the theft

This is just the normal verb pattern you need to learn with this meaning.

Compare:

• بلّغت عن السرقة = I reported the theft
• بلّغت الشرطة = I informed the police

So عن introduces the thing being reported.

السرقة means the theft.

The reason it is not pronounced al-s... is that س is a sun letter. In Arabic, when ال comes before a sun letter, the l sound disappears in pronunciation and the next consonant is doubled.

So:

• written: السرقة
• pronounced more like: is-sərʔa or as-sariqa, depending on style and region

Also, in Levantine, the final ة is usually pronounced -a.

مبارح means yesterday.

It is a very common Levantine word. In Modern Standard Arabic, you would usually say أمس instead.

So:

• مبارح = Levantine everyday speech
• أمس = Modern Standard Arabic

Yes, it can move.

Arabic word order is flexible, and مبارح can appear in different places depending on emphasis.

All of these are natural:

• بلّغت عن السرقة مبارح
• مبارح بلّغت عن السرقة
• أنا بلّغت عن السرقة مبارح

Putting مبارح first gives a little more emphasis to yesterday.

Because Arabic often leaves the subject pronoun out when the verb already shows who the subject is.

In بلّغت, the ending tells you the subject is either:

• I
• or you masculine singular

So أنا is not required.

If you want extra clarity or emphasis, you can say:

• أنا بلّغت عن السرقة مبارح

That would mean I reported the theft yesterday, with more emphasis on I.

If it means I reported, then no. Both a man and a woman can say:

• بلّغت

So the form does not show the speaker’s gender in the first person singular.

But it can also mean you reported when talking to one man. Context tells you which meaning is intended.

If you want to make it clearer, you can add a pronoun:

• أنا بلّغت = I reported
• إنت بلّغت = you reported to one man

It is understandable and natural, but it has a slightly neutral or semi-formal feel.

Why?

• مبارح is clearly Levantine
• بلّغ عن is used in everyday speech, but it can sound a bit more official than very casual alternatives

So the sentence works well in Levantine, especially when talking about reporting a crime.

A Modern Standard Arabic version would be:

• أبلغتُ عن السرقة أمس

A Levantine everyday version can still be:

• بلّغت عن السرقة مبارح

So this sentence is perfectly fine for Levantine learners.

Yes. If you want to be more specific, you can add the person or authority.

For example:

• بلّغت الشرطة عن السرقة مبارح = I reported the theft to the police yesterday

Here:

• الشرطة = the police
• عن السرقة = about the theft

So the pattern can expand like this:

بلّغت + person/authority + عن + thing reported

Yes. These are all possible, with slightly different emphasis:

• بلّغت عن السرقة مبارح
  Neutral and natural

• مبارح بلّغت عن السرقة
  Emphasizes yesterday

• أنا بلّغت عن السرقة مبارح
  Emphasizes I

• عن السرقة بلّغت مبارح
  Less common in everyday speech, but possible in marked contexts

So the original sentence is a very normal way to say it, but Arabic gives you flexibility depending on what you want to highlight.
