شفت قميص ابيض بالمحل وجربته، بس ما اشتريته.

A common rough transliteration is:

shifet qamīṣ abyaḍ bil-maḥall w jarrabto, bas ma shtareito

Very roughly in English sounds:

• شفت = shifet / sheft
• قميص = qamīṣ
• ابيض = abyaḍ
• بالمحل = bil-maḥall
• وجربته = w jarrabto
• بس = bas
• ما اشتريته = ma shtareito

Pronunciation varies by country and city, so you may hear small differences.

Because the verbs already show first person singular.

• شفت = I saw
• جربت = I tried
• اشتريت = I bought

So Arabic does not need أنا unless you want extra emphasis. You could say أنا شفت..., but it is not necessary.

In Arabic, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe.

So:

• قميص ابيض = a white shirt
• literally: shirt white

This is normal Arabic word order. English does the opposite.

Because here the meaning is a white shirt, not the white shirt.

In Arabic, definiteness has to match:

• قميص ابيض = a white shirt
• القميص الابيض = the white shirt

If the noun is indefinite, the adjective is also indefinite. If the noun is definite, the adjective must also be definite.

In informal Levantine writing, people often simplify spelling.

So you may see:

• ابيض
• أبيض

They both represent the same word: white.
The more standard spelling is أبيض, but in casual texting or dialect writing, dropping the hamza is very common.

It is made of:

• بـ = in / at
• الـ = the
• محل = shop / store

So بالمحل literally means in the shop or at the store.

This contraction is very common:

• ب + ال → بال

وجربته breaks down like this:

• و = and
• جربت = I tried
• ـه = it / him

So وجربته means and I tried it.

Here -ه refers back to the shirt. In natural English, this is often translated as I tried it on, but Arabic does not need a separate word meaning on here.

That -ه is the attached object pronoun meaning it.

So:

• جربته = I tried it
• اشتريته = I bought it

Once the shirt has already been mentioned, Arabic can refer back to it with -ه, just like English uses it.

Here ما negates the past verb:

• اشتريته = I bought it
• ما اشتريته = I didn’t buy it

In many Levantine varieties, ما + past verb is a normal way to say did not.

You may also hear other regional negation patterns in spoken Arabic, but ما اشتريته is very natural Levantine.

Yes. بس can mean different things depending on context.

In this sentence, it means but:

• ... وجربته، بس ما اشتريته = ... and I tried it, but I didn’t buy it

In other contexts, بس can also mean only / just.
So this is one of those words whose meaning depends on how it is used.

Yes. The sentence tells a sequence of completed actions in the past:

• شفت = I saw
• جربته = I tried it
• ما اشتريته = I didn’t buy it

So the whole sentence is describing something that already happened.

Because this is Levantine Arabic, not formal Modern Standard Arabic.

In Levantine speech:

• case endings are not used
• tanween is not pronounced the way it is in Standard Arabic

So you simply say:

• قميص ابيض not something like a full MSA reading with case endings.

That is one of the big differences between spoken dialect and formal Arabic.
