الزبون اللي وراي كان مستعجل كمان، فخليته ياخد دوري.

اللي is the Levantine relative word for who, that, or which.

So:

• الزبون اللي وراي = the customer who/that is behind me

A very common learner point: in Levantine, اللي is used for all genders and numbers. It does not change the way MSA forms like الذي، التي، الذين do.

وراي is made of:

• ورا = behind
• -ي = me / my

So وراي literally means behind me.

This kind of attachment is very common in Arabic:

• وراك = behind you
• وراه = behind him
• ورانا = behind us

كان puts the description in the past.

• مستعجل by itself means in a hurry
• كان مستعجل = was in a hurry

So here, كان gives the English idea of was.

In Levantine, present-tense to be is often omitted, but past كان is used normally.

No. مستعجل is not a normal finite verb here. It is an adjective / active participle meaning in a hurry or rushed.

So:

• هو مستعجل = he is in a hurry
• كان مستعجل = he was in a hurry

If the customer were female, it would usually become:

• مستعجلة

كمان means also, too, or as well.

Here:

• كان مستعجل كمان = was also in a hurry

Its placement is fairly flexible in Levantine, but this position is very natural. It adds the idea that this customer, in addition to someone else already understood from context, was in a hurry too.

The فـ means something like so, then, or therefore.

It connects the two ideas:

• the customer behind me was also in a hurry
• so I let him take my turn

This فـ is extremely common in everyday Arabic for linking events or results.

خليته comes from خلّى, which often means:

• to let
• to make
• to have someone do something
• sometimes to leave

Here it means I let him.

Breakdown:

• خلّيت = I let / I made
• -ه = him

So خليته = I let him or I made him, depending on context. In this sentence, I let him is the natural meaning.

This is a very common Levantine pattern:

• خلّى + object + imperfect verb

It means to let/make someone do something.

So:

• خليته ياخد دوري = I let him take my turn

You can think of ياخد as the action that I allowed him to do.

Similar examples:

• خليته يفوت = I let him come in
• خليتها تحكي = I let her speak

ياخد is the colloquial Levantine form.
The MSA form is يأخذ.

In Levantine, many words are simplified in everyday speech:

• أخذ becomes أخد
• يأخذ becomes ياخد

So this is a normal dialect form, not a mistake.

دوري means my turn.

Breakdown:

• دور = turn
• -ي = my

In this context, it means my place in the queue / my turn to be served.

So ياخد دوري means:

• take my turn
• or more naturally in English, take my place

Because the context already makes it clear.

• الزبون اللي وراي = the customer behind me
• ياخد دوري = take my turn

Together, these naturally suggest a line or queue, even without saying line explicitly.

This kind of context-based expression is very common in Arabic, just as in English you might say the person behind me took my turn without repeating in line.

Because it refers to a specific customer, not just any customer.

• زبون = a customer
• الزبون = the customer

In the sentence, the speaker means a particular customer: the one behind them.

Because ز is a sun letter. With sun letters, the ل of الـ is not pronounced separately; it assimilates into the next consonant.

So:

• الزبون is pronounced roughly iz-zbūn or ez-zbūn, depending on region

This is the same pattern as:

• الشمس → ish-shams
• الزمان → iz-zamān

A natural version would be:

• الزبونة اللي وراي كانت مستعجلة كمان، فخليتها تاخد دوري

Main changes:

• الزبون → الزبونة
• كان → كانت
• مستعجل → مستعجلة
• خليته → خليتها
• ياخد → تاخد

That is because the noun, description, and pronoun all now refer to a female person.

A rough pronunciation is:

iz-zbūn illi warāy kān mistaʿjil kamān, fa-khallēto yākhod dōri

A few notes:

• الزبون → iz-zbūn
• اللي often sounds like illi
• خليته may sound like khallēto
• دوري sounds like dōri

Exact pronunciation will vary somewhat across Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian, and Jordanian speech.
