حكيت مع المجموعة.

It is Levantine colloquial Arabic.

In everyday Levantine, حكى / يحكي is a very common verb for to talk / to speak / to tell. A more formal or MSA-style equivalent would be تكلّمتُ مع المجموعة or تحدّثتُ مع المجموعة.

This is also why the sentence looks simpler than MSA: dialects normally do not use the full case endings you learn in formal Arabic.

A common learner-friendly transliteration is:

ḥkēt maʿ il-majmūʿa

A few notes:

• ḥ = the Arabic ح, a stronger, breathier sound than English h
• ʿ = the Arabic ع
• il- / el- = the

In fast speech, مع المجموعة may sound a bit like maʿ l-majmūʿa.

Here, حكيت means I talked or I spoke.

The base verb is حكى. In Levantine, this verb can mean:

• to talk / speak
• to tell / narrate

With مع after it, the meaning is usually talked with or spoke with, so in this sentence it clearly means conversation, not storytelling.

Because the verb already carries the subject.

In Arabic, especially in dialect, subject pronouns are often omitted when they are clear from the verb form. So:

• حكيت مع المجموعة = I talked with the group

You can add أنا if you want emphasis or contrast:

• أنا حكيت مع المجموعة = I talked with the group

Yes. In Levantine past tense, حكيت can mean either:

• I talked
• you talked when speaking to one man

So the form is ambiguous by itself. Context tells you which one is meant.

For comparison:

• حكيت = I talked / you (masc. sg.) talked
• حكيتي = you (fem. sg.) talked

Yes.

In the first person singular in Levantine past tense, men and women use the same form:

• أنا حكيت

So a male speaker and a female speaker both say حكيت for I talked.

مع means with.

After حكى, it gives the meaning of talking with someone, as in having a conversation:

• حكيت مع صديقي = I talked with my friend
• حكيت مع المجموعة = I talked with the group

So مع is the normal preposition here if you mean a two-way interaction or conversation.

المجموعة means the group.

Depending on context, it could also feel like:

• the team
• the set
• the group of people

Grammatically, it is singular, even though it refers to multiple people as one unit. It is also a feminine noun because it ends in ـة.

So if you later describe it with an adjective, the adjective would usually be feminine singular:

• المجموعة كبيرة = the group is big

Yes, absolutely.

Both are natural, but they are used slightly differently:

• حكيت مع المجموعة = neutral, normal
• أنا حكيت مع المجموعة = adds emphasis, contrast, or clarity

For example, if you want to stress that I did it, not someone else, then أنا is useful.

This is a very useful distinction.

• حكيت مع المجموعة = I talked with the group
  This suggests interaction or conversation.

• حكيت للمجموعة = I talked to the group / I told the group
  This more often suggests speaking to them, addressing them, or telling them something.

So:

• مع = with
• لـ = to

In many situations, that is similar to the English difference between talked with and talked to.

Yes, people would understand you, but it sounds more formal or more influenced by MSA.

In everyday Levantine, حكيت is usually the more natural choice for casual speech.

So:

• حكيت مع المجموعة = very natural in everyday Levantine
• تكلمت مع المجموعة = understandable, but more formal or less colloquial

The normal Levantine negative is:

ما حكيت مع المجموعة = I didn’t talk with the group

Just put ما before the verb.

Common Levantine forms are:

• بحكي مع المجموعة = I talk / I am talking with the group
• رح احكي مع المجموعة = I will talk with the group

So the pattern is:

• past: حكيت
• present: بحكي
• future: رح احكي

Depending on region, the future marker may also be shortened, but رح is widely understood.
