Questions & Answers about ما عاد في غرف مفردة متوفرة.

What does ما عاد mean in this sentence?

ما عاد means no longer or not anymore in Levantine Arabic.

So in ما عاد في غرف مفردة متوفرة, it gives the idea of:

• there are no more...
• there aren’t any ... anymore

A useful comparison:

• في غرف مفردة متوفرة = There are single rooms available.
• ما في غرف مفردة متوفرة = There are no single rooms available.
• ما عاد في غرف مفردة متوفرة = There are no single rooms available anymore / There are no more single rooms available.

So عاد here is not really returned. In this kind of expression, ما عاد is a very common Levantine way to say no longer.

What is في doing here? Doesn’t it usually mean in?

Yes, في often means in, but in Levantine it also very often works as an existential word, meaning there is / there are.

So here:

• في غرف = There are rooms
• ما عاد في غرف = There are no more rooms

This is extremely common in spoken Levantine. English uses there is/there are, while Levantine often uses في for that job.

Why is it غرف and not غرفة?
