امي اشترت خضرة من المحل يلي قدام البيت.

Both refer to my mother. In careful spelling, especially in Modern Standard Arabic, you often see أمي with a hamza. In everyday Levantine writing, people very often drop the hamza and write امي.

In Levantine, it is commonly pronounced immi.

So:

• أمي = more standard spelling
• امي = very common casual spelling

A common Levantine pronunciation would be:

immi ishtarat khodra mn il-maḥall yalli qdām il-bēt

A few notes:

• امي → immi
• اشترت → ishtarat
• خضرة → khodra
• من is often pronounced mn
• المحل → il-maḥall
• يلي → yalli
• قدام → qdām or sometimes 'dām, depending on dialect
• البيت → il-bēt

اشترت means she bought.

The verb comes from اشترى = to buy.
In the past tense, for she, it becomes اشترت.

So:

• اشترى = he bought
• اشترت = she bought

Since امي is feminine, the verb has to match it:

• امي اشترت = my mother bought

Because Arabic verbs already show who did the action.

In اشترت, the -ت tells you it is she in the past tense. So a separate pronoun like هي is not necessary.

You could say هي اشترت, but it is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis.

In Levantine Arabic, starting with the subject is very common.

So:

• امي اشترت... = My mother bought...

This is a normal colloquial word order. Levantine often prefers subject + verb in everyday speech.

In more formal Arabic, verb + subject is also very common:

• اشترت أمي...

Both are understandable, but the version in your sentence sounds very natural in Levantine.

خضرة means vegetables or produce/greens, depending on context.

In Levantine speech, it often refers to fresh vegetables in general, especially the kind you buy from a vegetable shop or market.

A learner should know that regional variation exists:

• خضرة
• خضار

Both can be used for vegetables, though usage depends on area and speaker.

من means from, so:

• من المحل = from the shop/store

This tells you where the vegetables were bought.

So the structure is:

• اشترت خضرة = bought vegetables
• من المحل = from the shop

Here المحل means the shop or the store.

In Levantine Arabic, محل is very commonly used for a shop/business location.

So:

• محل خضرة = vegetable shop
• محل by itself = shop/store/place of business

يلي means that, which, or the one that.

It is a very common Levantine relative word. It connects a noun to extra information about it.

In this sentence:

• المحل يلي قدام البيت = the shop that is in front of the house

So يلي introduces the description of المحل.

Yes, functionally it is very similar.

In Modern Standard Arabic, you would choose different relative pronouns depending on gender and number:

• الذي
• التي
• الذين, etc.

In Levantine, يلي is much simpler because it is used for almost everything:

• masculine
• feminine
• singular
• plural
• people
• things
• places

That is one reason colloquial Arabic often feels grammatically simpler in this area.

Yes. Absolutely.

In this sentence, يلي refers to المحل:

• المحل يلي قدام البيت = the shop that is in front of the house

In Levantine, يلي is used very broadly, including with places.

قدام means in front of.

So:

• قدام البيت = in front of the house

It is one of the most common Levantine words for location.

You may also hear it in everyday expressions like:

• أنا قدام الباب = I am in front of the door
• السيارة قدام البيت = The car is in front of the house

البيت means the house.

In Arabic, it is very common to use the where English might say my or leave it implicit, especially when the meaning is obvious from context.

Here, البيت most naturally means the house/home, usually understood as our house or the house we are talking about.

So:

• قدام البيت literally = in front of the house
• but naturally it may mean in front of our house / the house

Because Arabic often expresses these relationships directly.

In English, we say:

• in front of the house

In Arabic, قدام is followed directly by the noun:

• قدام البيت

So you should learn قدام as a chunk:

• قدام + noun = in front of + noun

ال is the Arabic definite article, meaning the.

So:

• المحل = the shop
• البيت = the house

In Levantine pronunciation, ال is often pronounced il- or el-, depending on region and speaker.

So you may hear:

• il-maḥall
• il-bēt

No. In spoken Levantine Arabic, case endings are not used.

That is why the sentence appears without the final vowel endings you might learn in formal Arabic grammar.

This is normal for colloquial Arabic:

• امي اشترت خضرة من المحل يلي قدام البيت is a fully natural spoken-style sentence.

Yes, it is clearly colloquial Levantine in a few ways.

The biggest clue is يلي, which is a spoken Levantine relative word. In Modern Standard Arabic, you would expect something like الذي or الواقع أمام البيت, depending on style.

Also, the overall phrasing feels conversational and natural for speech.

A more formal version might be something like:

• اشترت أمي خضارًا من المحل الذي أمام البيت

But your sentence is the kind of Arabic people actually say in everyday Levantine conversation.

A good way to learn from this sentence is to memorize it in chunks:

• امي اشترت = my mother bought
• خضرة = vegetables
• من المحل = from the shop
• يلي قدام البيت = that is in front of the house

Useful mini-patterns:

• X اشترت Y من Z = X bought Y from Z
• الـ... يلي قدام... = the ... that is in front of ...
• قدام البيت = in front of the house

Learning chunks will help you speak more naturally than memorizing single words alone.
