استعملت زيت اليوم، وما حطيت سكر بالعصير.

A natural pronunciation would be something like staʿmalt zēt il-yōm, w ma ḥaṭṭēt sukkar bil-ʿaṣīr.

A few quick notes:

• ʿ represents ع
• ḥ represents ح
• ṭ represents ط
• w is و = and
• bil-ʿaṣīr is the spoken form of بالعصير

Because the verb already tells you the subject.

• استعملت = I used
• حطيت = I put

So أنا is not necessary unless you want emphasis, contrast, or clarity. You could say أنا استعملت زيت اليوم if you want to stress I.

In the Levantine past tense, -ت is a common marker for I.

So:

• استعملت = I used
• حطيت = I put

The exact vowel before -ت changes depending on the verb pattern, but the -ت is the important part showing first person singular.

استعملت means I used.

Yes, it is a normal and common word in Levantine. A learner may also see استخدمت, which also means I used, but استعمل is very common in everyday speech.

حطيت means I put.

Yes, حط is a very common colloquial Levantine verb for to put. In more formal Arabic, you might see verbs like وضعت or أضفت, depending on the meaning, but in everyday speech حط is extremely natural.

In Levantine, past-tense verbs are commonly negated with ما.

So:

• حطيت = I put
• ما حطيت = I didn’t put

مو and مش are usually used more with nouns, adjectives, or non-verbal predicates, such as:

• أنا مو جاهز = I’m not ready

So for this sentence, ما حطيت is the natural choice.

It is just two pieces joined together:

• و = and
• ما = not / didn’t

So وما حطيت means and I didn’t put.

In fast speech, it sounds like one smooth unit, but grammatically it is still and + negation.

Because here they are being used as general mass nouns, not as specific identified items.

• زيت = oil / some oil
• سكر = sugar

That is very natural in Arabic, just like in English when you say I used oil or I didn’t put sugar.

If you meant a specific, known oil or sugar, you could use:

• الزيت = the oil
• السكر = the sugar

بالعصير is made of:

• بـ = a preposition often meaning in, with, by, at
• العصير = the juice

So بالعصير here means in the juice.

This is a very normal Levantine way to express that idea.

Because the preposition بـ usually attaches directly to the following word.

So:

• بـ + العصير becomes
• بالعصير

In pronunciation, many speakers say something like bil-ʿaṣīr.

This kind of attachment is very common in Arabic with short prepositions like بـ, لـ, and كـ.

Yes, في العصير would be understood, but بالعصير is very natural in Levantine for this kind of sentence.

Levantine Arabic uses بـ very often in places where English would use in or with. So ما حطيت سكر بالعصير sounds very normal.

The word order is somewhat flexible.

This sentence is natural:

• استعملت زيت اليوم، وما حطيت سكر بالعصير

But you could also say:

• اليوم استعملت زيت to emphasize today

Or move things around slightly depending on what you want to stress. The meaning stays similar, but the focus changes.

In Levantine, time expressions like اليوم can appear in different places. Putting it after زيت is still natural and conversational.

So:

• استعملت زيت اليوم and
• اليوم استعملت زيت are both possible

The second one gives a bit more emphasis to today.
