Questions & Answers about يوم الامتحان لازم تروح بكير وما توصل متاخر.
In Levantine Arabic, it is very common to use a time expression directly at the beginning of the sentence without a preposition.
So يوم الامتحان literally means the day of the exam, but in context it functions like:
- on the day of the exam
- exam day
You could think of it as a natural shorthand. In English we often need on, but Arabic often does not.
لازم means must, have to, or need to.
In Levantine, it is a very common way to express obligation. It is usually followed by a present-tense verb:
- لازم تروح = you have to go
- لازم تدرس = you have to study
Unlike English, there is no extra word like to before the second verb. So the structure is simply:
- لازم + present verb
تروح is the present-tense form meaning you go in Levantine Arabic.
The تـ at the beginning often marks:
- you (singular)
