التمثال معروض بصالة العرض.

A good Levantine-style approximation is:

it-timthāl maʿrūḍ b-ṣālet il-ʿarḍ

A few pronunciation notes:

• التمثال sounds like it-timthāl, not al-timthāl, because ت is a sun letter, so the l of ال assimilates.
• معروض is roughly maʿrūḍ.
• بصالة is b-ṣāle / b-ṣālet depending on how connected your speech is.
• العرض is il-ʿarḍ.

In a more formal, MSA-like reading, you might hear:

at-timthālu maʿrūḍun bi-ṣālati l-ʿarḍi

But for Levantine learning, the first pronunciation is more useful.

Because in Arabic, especially in the present tense, the verb to be is usually not said.

So:

• التمثال معروض literally looks like the statue displayed
• but it means the statue is displayed or the statue is on display

This is completely normal in Arabic nominal sentences.

If you wanted other tenses, then Arabic would use a verb such as:

• كان التمثال معروض = the statue was displayed
• رح يكون التمثال معروض = the statue will be displayed

معروض means displayed, exhibited, or on display.

Grammatically, it is a passive participle from the root related to عرض.

In this sentence, معروض is not a full verb by itself. It works more like a predicate adjective:

• التمثال معروض = the statue is displayed / the statue is on display

So a useful way to think about it is:

• عرض = to display, show, present
• معروض = displayed, shown, offered

With a museum object like التمثال, the meaning is naturally on display.

Because صالة العرض is an iḍāfa construction, meaning something like the hall of display or the exhibition hall.

In an iḍāfa:

• the first noun usually does not take ال
• the second noun can take ال
• the whole phrase can still be definite

So:

• صالة العرض = the exhibition hall / the showroom
• not الصالة العرض

Then the preposition بـ is attached to the front:

• بصالة العرض = in the exhibition hall / in the showroom

So the structure is:

• بـ + صالة العرض
• not بـ + الصالة العرض

Here, بـ means in / at.

So:

• بصالة العرض = in the exhibition hall / at the exhibition hall

Yes, في صالة العرض is also possible in many contexts and would be understood.

Very roughly:

• بـ is extremely common in Levantine for location
• في is also correct and often a little more explicitly in

So both can work, but بـ sounds very natural in spoken Levantine.

Because صالة العرض is a connected noun phrase, and the ة at the end of صالة is a taa marbuuTa.

When a word ending in ة stands alone, in Levantine it often sounds like:

• ṣāle or ṣāla

But when it is linked to another word in an iḍāfa, the hidden t sound reappears:

• صالة by itself → ṣāle
• صالة العرض → ṣālet il-ʿarḍ

This is very common and useful to notice.

Because it agrees with التمثال, which is masculine singular.

Arabic adjectives and participle-like words usually agree with the noun they describe or refer to.

So here:

• التمثال = masculine singular
• معروض = masculine singular

If the noun changed, the form would usually change too. For example:

• اللوحة معروضة = the painting is displayed
  because لوحة is feminine singular

So معروض is the correct matching form for التمثال.

It is understandable and correct, but it sounds a bit formal or written, especially because of the wording.

A Levantine speaker could definitely say it, especially in a museum, catalog, sign, or formal description. But in very casual speech, people might choose something simpler depending on context, such as:

• التمثال معروض بالمعرض
• التمثال موجود بصالة العرض

So the sentence is fine, but it leans slightly toward a formal/register-neutral style rather than very casual everyday chat.

Literally, it means something like:

• hall of display
• display hall
• exhibition hall
• showroom

The exact best translation depends on context.

For example:

• in a museum context, it may be exhibition hall
• in a store or business context, it may be showroom

So even if the full sentence meaning is already clear, it is useful to know that صالة العرض is a fixed type of noun phrase meaning a place where things are shown or exhibited.

Yes. معروض can have a few related meanings depending on context, such as:

• displayed
• shown
• offered
• presented

For example, in another context:

• المنتج معروض للبيع = the product is offered for sale

But with التمثال and صالة العرض, the meaning is naturally on display or exhibited. The surrounding words make that meaning clear.
