In Levantine Arabic, possession is often expressed without a verb to have.

عندي literally means at me or with me:

• عند = at / with
• ـي = me / my

So عندي فكرة literally means At me is an idea, but in natural English that is I have an idea.

You can also say أنا عندي for extra emphasis, but the أنا is not necessary here because ـي already shows who has the idea.

Why is there no word for is in القرار لسه مو واضح?

Because in Arabic, the verb to be is usually omitted in the present tense.
