What does حجزت mean, and what tense is it?

حجزت means I booked or I reserved.

It is the past tense form of the verb حجز = to book / to reserve.
The ending -ت shows that the subject is I.

So:

• حجز = he booked
• حجزت = I booked

In Levantine speech, the exact pronunciation can vary a bit by region, but the meaning stays the same.

Why isn’t أنا used for I?

In Arabic, the verb often already tells you who the subject is.

• حجزت غرفة مفردة بالفندق = I booked a single room at the hotel

Using أنا usually adds emphasis, like I booked it.
