حارة السباحة فاضية.

Because Levantine Arabic, like Arabic in general, usually leaves out the verb to be in the present tense.

So حارة السباحة فاضية literally looks like:

• حارة السباحة = the swimming lane
• فاضية = empty

But it naturally means The swimming lane is empty.

If you wanted a past or future meaning, you would usually add a verb:

• كانت حارة السباحة فاضية = The swimming lane was empty
• رح تكون حارة السباحة فاضية = The swimming lane will be empty

This is because حارة السباحة is an iḍāfa construction, often called a construct phrase.

In an iḍāfa:

• the first noun does not take الـ
• the second noun shows whether the whole phrase is definite

So here:

• حارة = lane
• السباحة = the swimming / swimming
• حارة السباحة = the swimming lane

Even though حارة has no الـ, the whole phrase is definite because السباحة is definite.

This is very common in Arabic:

• باب البيت = the door of the house
• غرفة الصف = the classroom
• حارة السباحة = the swimming lane

Here, حارة means lane, specifically a lane in a swimming pool.

That is important because حارة can mean different things depending on context. In other situations it can also mean:

• a neighborhood
• a quarter
• a narrow street or alley

But in sports or pool contexts, حارة commonly means lane.

So a learner should not memorize it as having only one meaning.

السباحة is the verbal noun, or maṣdar, of the verb to swim.

So it means swimming as an activity.

In حارة السباحة, Arabic uses this noun the way English uses another noun in compounds:

• swimming lane
• literally something like lane of swimming

This is a very normal Arabic pattern.

Because حارة is a feminine noun, and adjectives in Arabic usually agree with the noun they describe or refer to.

So:

• masculine: فاضي
• feminine: فاضية

Since the subject is حارة, the predicate adjective must be feminine:

• حارة السباحة فاضية

If the noun were masculine, you would use فاضي instead.

Because here فاضية is a predicate adjective, not an adjective directly attached to the noun inside the same noun phrase.

Compare these two:

• حارة السباحة فاضية = The swimming lane is empty
• حارة السباحة الفاضية = the empty swimming lane

In the first sentence, فاضية is saying something about the subject, so it stays without الـ.

In the second example, الفاضية is part of the noun phrase itself, so it takes الـ because it agrees in definiteness with the noun phrase.

This distinction is very useful in Arabic.

A rough pronunciation would be:

ḥāret is-sbāḥa fāḍye or in some accents ḥāret is-sibāḥa fāḍya

A few useful notes:

• حارة is often pronounced ḥāret here, because the final ة is heard in an iḍāfa construction.
• الـ in السباحة is pronounced with assimilation because س is a sun letter, so you hear is-s... rather than al-s...
• فاضية may sound like fāḍye or fāḍya, depending on region and speaker.

Not always. In Levantine, فاضي / فاضية can also mean:

• empty
• free
• available
• not busy

So depending on context, حارة السباحة فاضية could suggest:

• the lane has no people in it
• the lane is open and available to use

In many real-life situations, both ideas overlap.

It is very natural in Levantine, especially because of فاضية, which is a common colloquial word.

In more formal Arabic, you would more likely hear:

• حارة السباحة فارغة or
• ممرّ السباحة فارغ

So the Levantine sentence keeps the same structure, but uses the everyday adjective فاضية instead of the more formal فارغة.

The most neutral order is the one you have:

• حارة السباحة فاضية

That is the normal subject + predicate order.

In conversation, speakers can sometimes move things around for emphasis, but the given order is the safest and most standard choice for a learner.

So if your goal is natural everyday Levantine, this version is a good model to follow.
