Questions & Answers about انا منيح.

Why is there no word for am in انا منيح?

In Levantine Arabic, the present-tense verb to be is usually not said.

So English I am fine / I am good becomes simply:

• أنا منيح

This is totally normal Arabic structure. The idea of am is understood automatically.

Compare:

• أنا منيح = I am fine
• إنت منيح = You are fine
• هو منيح = He is fine

But in the past or future, forms of to be do appear:

• كنت منيح = I was fine
• رح كون منيح = I will be fine

Is أنا necessary here, or can I just say منيح?

Yes, you can often just say منيح.

In everyday Levantine, pronouns are often dropped when the meaning is already clear from context. So both of these are natural:

• أنا منيح
• منيح

Using أنا can make it a little clearer or slightly more emphatic, especially if you are answering a question like How are you?

For example:

• كيفك؟
• أنا منيح

But in casual conversation, منيح by itself is extremely common.
