بدي يكون عندي وقت للسباحة واقرا رواية بنفس الاسبوع.

بدي means I want in Levantine Arabic.

It is colloquial, not Modern Standard Arabic. The formal equivalent would be أريد.

A useful comparison:

• بدي = Levantine
• أريد = MSA

Also, بدي does not change for male vs female speakers. Both a man and a woman say بدي.

Because in Levantine, after بدي, you normally put the next verb directly.

So you say:

• بدي يكون
• بدي أقرا
• بدي روح

In MSA, you would usually say:

• أريد أن يكون
• أريد أن أقرأ

So the missing أن is one of the clear signs that this sentence is dialectal, not formal.

يكون is the verb to be.

The phrase يكون عندي وقت literally means something like there be time at me / with me, which is how Arabic naturally expresses I have time in this kind of structure.

So:

• بدي يكون عندي وقت = I want to have time

You cannot naturally say بدي عندي وقت here. The verb يكون is needed.

Because يكون is agreeing with وقت, not with the speaker.

The core idea is:

• وقت = time
• يكون عندي وقت = there is time available to me / I have time

Since وقت is masculine singular, يكون appears in the masculine singular form.

So this is not really I am. It is more like there be time.

عندي literally means at me or with me.

Arabic dialects often use this kind of expression instead of a direct verb meaning to have.

So:

• عندي وقت = I have time
• عندي سيارة = I have a car
• عندي فكرة = I have an idea

This is a very important pattern in Levantine.

Here, لـ means for.

So:

• وقت للسباحة = time for swimming

This is a very natural way to express purpose or intended use.

Compare:

• وقت للسباحة = time for swimming
• وقت للدراسة = time for studying
• وقت للشغل = time for work

So the لـ is not random; it is doing the job of English for.

Because after بدي, Levantine usually uses the plain imperfect verb, without the بـ prefix.

Compare:

• بقرأ = I read / I am reading in the normal present sense
• أقرا / اقرا after بدي = read in the sense of to read

So:

• بدي أقرا رواية = I want to read a novel

This is a very common pattern:

• بدي روح = I want to go
• بدي آكل = I want to eat
• بدي أكتب = I want to write

In careful spelling, yes, it would normally be written more fully.

Informal online or casual dialect spelling often drops hamzas and other details. So you may see:

• اقرا instead of أقرأ
• الاسبوع instead of الأسبوع

A more careful version of the sentence would be:

• بدي يكون عندي وقت للسباحة وأقرأ رواية بنفس الأسبوع.

So the spelling in your sentence is normal for casual writing, even if it is not the most formal orthography.

Because it is understood.

The sentence is structured like this:

• بدي [يكون عندي وقت للسباحة] و[أقرا رواية بنفس الأسبوع]

In English, we do the same thing:

• I want to have time for swimming and read a novel in the same week.

You could repeat بدي for emphasis, but you do not need to.

بنفس الأسبوع means in the same week or within the same week.

Breakdown:

• بـ = in / with
• نفس = same, self
• الأسبوع = the week

So the whole expression means that both things happen during the same week.

A close alternative is:

• في نفس الأسبوع

That sounds a bit closer to formal Arabic, but بنفس الأسبوع is very natural in speech.

It is definitely Levantine-style because of بدي, and speakers of other Arabic dialects would usually recognize it.

However, other dialects may prefer different words:

• Levantine: بدي
• Egyptian: often عايز
• MSA: أريد

So the sentence is regionally Levantine, but still broadly understandable to many Arabic speakers.

No, not here.

In this sentence, the first-person forms do not reveal gender:

• بدي
• عندي
• أقرا

All of these can be used by either a male or female speaker.

A rough pronunciation could be:

baddi ykūn ʿindī waʔet la-s-sbāḥa w eqra riwāye bnafs il-usbūʿ

A few notes:

• بدي → baddi
• وقت is often pronounced something like waʔet or waʔt
• السباحة may sound like is-sbāḥa after the لـ
• رواية is often riwāye
• بنفس is often pronounced very smoothly as bnafs

Exact pronunciation varies across Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine, but this gives you a good Levantine feel.
