Questions & Answers about جارتي سألتني اذا خلصنا الحجز، وقلتلا اي ولسه عم نستنى خبر.

Why does جارتي mean my female neighbor, and why does it have -تي at the end?

The base word is جارة, which means female neighbor. When you add the possessive suffix -ي for my, the final ة changes to ت before the suffix:

جارة + ي → جارتي

So جارتي means my female neighbor.

If you wanted my male neighbor, you would usually say جاري.

How do I break down سألتني?

سألتني = سألت + ني

• سألت = she asked
• ني = me

So the whole word means she asked me.

In Levantine, attached object pronouns like -ني are very common, so instead of saying a separate word for me, Arabic often attaches it directly to the verb.

Why is إذا used here? Does it mean if or whether?

Here إذا means if / whether in the sense of an indirect question:

سألتني إذا خلصنا الحجز
= She asked me if / whether we finished the booking

This is very common in Levantine. In English, after ask, we often say or . Arabic uses naturally in that role.
