Questions & Answers about اليوم بالليل رح نحضر الاخبار عالتلفزيون مشان نعرف اذا في زحمة عالمطار.
Why does اليوم بالليل mean tonight? Isn’t that literally today at night?
Yes — literally it is today, at night. In Levantine, اليوم بالليل is a very natural way to say tonight.
A learner might also hear:
- هالليلة = tonight
- الليلة = tonight / this evening
So اليوم بالليل is not strange or overly literal in dialect; it is a normal everyday expression.
What does رح do in this sentence?
رح is a common Levantine future marker. It goes before the imperfect verb and means will / going to.
So:
- نحضر = we watch / we attend
- رح نحضر = we will watch
Other future markers exist in Arabic, but رح is one of the most common in Levantine speech.
Why is the verb نحضر used? Doesn’t حضر usually mean to attend?
In Standard Arabic, حضر often means to attend. But in Levantine, حضر can also mean to watch, especially for TV, movies, or a show.
So:
- نحضر الاخبار = we watch the news
You may also hear:
- نتفرّج عالأخبار = we watch the news
