اذا وصلتي عالدوار وما لقيتي الصيدلية، اسألي اي حدا واقف عالرصيف.

Because this sentence is addressed to one female.

In Levantine Arabic, verbs often change depending on the gender of the person being addressed:

• وصلتي = you arrived / you reach (to a woman)
• لقيتي = you found (to a woman)
• اسألي = ask! (to a woman)

If you were talking to a man, you would usually say:

• إذا وصلت عالدوار وما لقيت الصيدلية، اسأل أي حدا واقف عالرصيف.

So the -تي and -ي endings here are the main clue that the listener is female.

عالدوار is a contraction of:

• على = on / at / to
• الدوار = the roundabout / traffic circle

So عالدوار literally combines على الدوار.

In context, it usually means something like:

• at the roundabout
• to the roundabout
• when you get to the roundabout

Levantine Arabic very often merges على + الـ into عال.

You see the same thing in:

• عالرصيف = على الرصيف = on the sidewalk

الدوار means roundabout or traffic circle.

This is a very common everyday word in Levantine Arabic when giving directions.

So if someone says:

• عند الدوار
• بعد الدوار
• قبل الدوار

they mean:

• at the roundabout
• after the roundabout
• before the roundabout

In Levantine, لقى / يلاقي is the normal everyday verb for to find.

So:

• لقيت = I found / you found / he found, depending on context
• لقيتي = you found (female)
• ما لقيتي = you didn’t find (female)

This is much more natural in spoken Levantine than the more formal verb وجد.

Compare:

• لقيت الصيدلية = I found the pharmacy
• ما لقيت الصيدلية = I didn’t find the pharmacy

So ما is the negation, and لقيتي is the verb.

Because in Levantine, ما is a very common way to negate past verbs.

So:

• لقيتي = you found
• ما لقيتي = you didn’t find

This is normal spoken Levantine grammar.

In more formal Arabic, you might expect something like لم تجدي, but in everyday speech ما لقيتي is much more natural.

أي حدا means anyone or any person.

Breakdown:

• أي = any
• حدا = someone / anyone / a person

So:

• اسألي أي حدا = ask anyone

حدا is a very common Levantine colloquial word. It is much more conversational than formal words like شخص.

Examples:

• في حدا هون؟ = Is anyone here?
• ما شفت حدا = I didn’t see anyone

Because Arabic often uses a participle directly after a noun to describe it.

So:

• أي حدا واقف عالرصيف = any person standing on the sidewalk

Here واقف means standing.

English often uses who is or that is:

• anyone who is standing on the sidewalk

But Arabic can often skip that relative structure and just place the describing word after the noun.

So both of these ideas are close in meaning:

• أي حدا واقف عالرصيف
• أي حدا اللي واقف عالرصيف — but this version is less natural here

The original sentence is the more natural everyday phrasing.

Good question. In everyday Levantine, حدا often takes a default masculine singular description when it means someone / anyone in a general sense.

So:

• أي حدا واقف عالرصيف = anyone standing on the sidewalk

This does not mean the speaker only wants a man. It is just a generic way to say it.

If the speaker specifically meant a woman, they could say:

• أي حدا واقفة عالرصيف

But that would sound more specifically female. The masculine واقف is the normal general/default choice.

الرصيف means sidewalk.

In British English, this is often pavement.

So:

• واقف عالرصيف = standing on the sidewalk / pavement

This is another useful directions word in Levantine.

This is clearly Levantine colloquial Arabic, not Standard Arabic.

Some clues:

• حدا is colloquial
• لقيتي is colloquial everyday speech
• عالدوار and عالرصيف are colloquial contractions
• the whole sentence sounds like natural spoken directions

A more formal Standard Arabic version would be something like:

• إذا وصلتِ إلى الدوّار ولم تجدي الصيدلية، فاسألي أيَّ شخصٍ واقفٍ على الرصيف.

So the sentence you have is the kind of Arabic people actually say in conversation.

Because Arabic does not always need an extra word there.

The sentence structure is:

• إذا... = if / when ...
• result/action after that = اسألي...

So:

• إذا وصلتي عالدوار وما لقيتي الصيدلية، اسألي...
• If you get to the roundabout and don’t find the pharmacy, ask...

In English, we sometimes say then ask..., but it is optional. Arabic is similar here. The result clause can simply come next without adding anything extra.

You would change the verb forms to masculine singular:

• إذا وصلت عالدوار وما لقيت الصيدلية، اسأل أي حدا واقف عالرصيف.

Changes:

• وصلتي → وصلت
• لقيتي → لقيت
• اسألي → اسأل

Everything else can stay the same.

إذا can mean if or when, depending on context.

In this sentence, it is something like:

• if you get to the roundabout and don’t find the pharmacy...

But in real-life directions, English might also naturally say:

• when you get to the roundabout, if you don’t find the pharmacy...

So إذا introduces the condition or situation. In everyday speech, it often feels very natural and practical, not overly hypothetical.

It sounds very natural.

It uses several very common spoken features:

• إذا for the condition
• ما لقيتي for you didn’t find
• اسألي as a normal imperative
• أي حدا for anyone
• عالرصيف and عالدوار as everyday contractions

This is exactly the kind of sentence you might hear when someone is giving street directions in the Levant.
