Questions & Answers about اذا ما عندك حساب عالموقع، فيكي تعملي واحد بدقيقة.

What does اذا ما mean in this sentence?

Here اذا means if.

The ما is not part of اذا itself; it belongs with عندك to make the clause negative:

• اذا = if
• ما عندك = you don’t have

So:

• اذا ما عندك حساب = if you don’t have an account

In some contexts, learners also see إذا ما used together in other ways, but in this sentence the easiest way to read it is simply:

• اذا
  • ما عندك

Why does عندك mean you have?

In Levantine Arabic, possession is often expressed with عند, which literally means something like at or with.

So:

• عندي = I have
• عندك = you have
• عنده = he has
• عندها = she has

Literally, عندك حساب is closer to there is an account at/with you, but in natural English we translate it as you have an account.

This is very common in spoken Arabic and one of the main ways to express have.
