Questions & Answers about قد ما المغني يغني، الجمهور بيطلب اغنية تانية.

What does قد ما mean here? Is it the same as the قد I learned in MSA?

Here قد ما is best learned as one fixed Levantine expression. In this sentence, it means no matter how much or however much.

So:

قد ما المغني يغني = no matter how much the singer sings

This is not the same as the standalone MSA قد that can mean things like may/might or can mark a completed action. In Levantine, قد ما is a very common colloquial chunk with its own meaning.

Why is it يغني in the first part, but بيطلب in the second part?

That is a very common Levantine pattern.

• بيطلب has the بـ prefix, which usually marks the normal present or habitual meaning in Levantine:
  الجمهور بيطلب = the audience asks / keeps asking

• After expressions like قد ما, the verb is often used without بـ:
  قد ما ... يغني = however much he sings / no matter how much he sings

So the first clause is a kind of dependent, general, concessive clause, while the second clause is the main present-tense statement.

Why is the word order المغني يغني and not يغني المغني?

In Levantine, subject-first order is very common, especially in everyday speech.

So sounds very natural in colloquial Arabic.
