عمق المسبح واضح بالتعليمات.

In Arabic, especially in the present tense, you usually do not say a separate word for is / am / are.

So:

عمق المسبح واضح بالتعليمات
literally looks like: the depth of the pool clear in the instructions

But it naturally means:

The depth of the pool is clear in the instructions.

This is very normal in both Standard Arabic and Levantine-style sentence structure. If you wanted past or future, then Arabic would use other words, but in the present tense the to be verb is normally omitted.

عمق means depth.

It is pronounced roughly as ʿumʾ / ʿomoʾ / ʿumq, depending on the speaker and style. For English speakers, the hardest part is usually the first sound:

• ع = a deep throat sound, often written as ʿ
• then م
• then ق, which may sound like:
  • a glottal stop ء in many urban Levantine accents
  • or a stronger q-type sound in more formal speech or some dialects

So in everyday Levantine pronunciation, the final ق may not sound like a hard q. That is very common.

Arabic often expresses X of Y by putting the two nouns together in a structure called iḍāfa.

So:

• عمق = depth
• المسبح = the pool

Together:

عمق المسبح = the depth of the pool

This is one of the most important noun patterns in Arabic. The first noun is the thing possessed or described, and the second noun tells you what it belongs to.

Other examples:

• باب البيت = the door of the house
• لون السيارة = the color of the car
• اسم المدرسة = the name of the school

So عمق المسبح is the normal Arabic way to say the pool’s depth or the depth of the pool.

In an iḍāfa structure, the first noun usually does not take ال directly, even when the whole phrase is definite.

So:

• عمق = depth
• المسبح = the pool

Because the second noun is definite (the pool), the whole phrase becomes definite:

عمق المسبح = the depth of the pool

This is why Arabic does not usually say العمق المسبح here. That would be incorrect.

A useful rule:

• كتاب طالب = a student’s book / the book of a student
• كتاب الطالب = the student’s book
• not الكتاب الطالب for this meaning

واضح means clear.

It stays in the masculine singular here because it agrees with عمق, and عمق is a masculine noun.

So:

• عمق = masculine singular
• therefore: واضح

If the noun were feminine, you would often use واضحة instead.

For example:

• الصورة واضحة = the picture is clear
• الفكرة واضحة = the idea is clear

But here:

• عمق المسبح واضح = the pool’s depth is clear

Even though المسبح is also in the phrase, the adjective agrees with the head noun عمق, not with المسبح.

The بـ here means something like:

• in
• on
• within
• sometimes according to, depending on context

So:

بالتعليمات = in the instructions / on the instructions / in the directions

In Arabic, بـ is very flexible and covers several meanings that English separates into different prepositions.

In this sentence, it tells you where the information is made clear.

التعليمات means the instructions, the directions, or the guidelines.

Depending on context, it could refer to:

• written instructions
• posted directions
• safety guidelines
• official notices

So in a pool-related setting, it might mean:

• safety instructions posted near the pool
• written rules
• a signboard with information

A learner should know that تعليمات is a plural noun commonly used for formal instructions or directions.

It is understandable in Levantine, but it sounds fairly formal and a bit closer to Modern Standard Arabic in vocabulary and style.

A Levantine speaker might say it, especially in formal speech, writing, signage, or official contexts. But in casual conversation, many speakers would use a more everyday phrasing.

For example, in casual Levantine you might hear something more like:

• عمق المسبح مبيّن بالتعليمات
• عمق المسبح مكتوب بالتعليمات
• مكتوب بالتعليمات قديش عمق المسبح

These feel more conversational.

So the given sentence is not wrong, but it leans formal.

Yes. واضح means clear, not necessarily written.

So the sentence suggests that the pool depth is clearly indicated / made clear / shown clearly in the instructions.

If you specifically want to say written, Arabic would often use:

• مكتوب = written

So compare:

• عمق المسبح واضح بالتعليمات = the pool depth is clear in the instructions
• عمق المسبح مكتوب بالتعليمات = the pool depth is written in the instructions

The difference is small in some contexts, but واضح focuses on clarity, while مكتوب focuses on the fact that it is explicitly written down.

A rough Levantine-style pronunciation could be:

ʿomoʾ il-masbaḥ wāḍeḥ bit-taʿlīmāt

A few notes:

• عمق may sound more like ʿomoʾ or ʿumʾ in everyday speech
• المسبح is often pronounced il-masbaḥ
• واضح is often wāḍeḥ
• بالتعليمات may sound like bit-taʿlīmāt

This will vary by country and speaker, but that gives a useful Levantine-style feel rather than a very formal classroom pronunciation.

A few natural alternatives are:

• عمق المسبح مكتوب بالتعليمات
  The pool depth is written in the instructions

• عمق المسبح مبيّن بالتعليمات
  The pool depth is shown in the instructions

• مكتوب بالتعليمات قديش عمق المسبح
  It says in the instructions how deep the pool is

The original sentence is good to understand, but these alternatives may sound more natural in everyday spoken Levantine, especially if you are talking rather than writing formally.
