مو بس اخدنا خصم، كمان التوصيل كان مجاني.

It’s a very common Levantine pattern meaning not only ... but also ...

So in this sentence:

مو بس اخدنا خصم، كمان التوصيل كان مجاني.

the structure is:

• مو بس = not just / not only
• كمان = also / too / in addition

Together, they create the idea:

Not only did we get a discount, but delivery was also free.

Yes. بس can mean different things depending on context:

• only / just
• but

Here, in مو بس, it means just / only, not but.

So:

• بس by itself can sometimes mean but
• مو بس together means not just / not only

That’s why you should learn مو بس as a chunk.

In Levantine, مو is a very common way to say not, especially before nouns, adjectives, and expressions like this one.

Here, مو بس is a fixed conversational phrase meaning not just.

You may also hear مش in some dialects or speakers, but مو بس is extremely natural in Levantine.

So this is less about strict grammar and more about common spoken usage.

اخدنا means we took or, more naturally in English here, we got / we received.

It is the past tense, first person plural:

• اخد = he took
• اخدت = I took
• اخدنا = we took

In this sentence, it means we got a discount.

Because Arabic often uses verbs like take, get, or receive in places where English might choose a different expression.

So اخدنا خصم literally looks like we took a discount, but the natural English meaning is:

• we got a discount
• we received a discount

This is normal and idiomatic in spoken Arabic.

خصم means discount.

It refers to a reduction in price.

It is not exactly the same as sale:

• خصم = a discount on the price
• sale in English can mean a store event or promotion, which may be expressed in Arabic in other ways depending on context

So here, اخدنا خصم specifically means we got a discount.

كمان means also, too, or in addition.

In this sentence, it introduces the second benefit:

• first benefit: we got a discount
• second benefit: delivery was free

So كمان gives the sense of:

• also
• on top of that
• what’s more

It works very naturally with مو بس in the pattern مو بس ... كمان ...

التوصيل means the delivery or the delivery service.

Arabic often uses the definite article الـ where English may simply say delivery without the.

So although English says:

• delivery was free

Arabic naturally says:

• التوصيل كان مجاني

This does not necessarily sound extra specific in Arabic; it often just sounds normal.

كان means was, so كان مجاني means was free.

There are two useful points here:

1. Why past tense?
   Because the speaker is talking about a past situation, such as a completed order or purchase.

2. Why masculine?
   Because التوصيل is grammatically masculine, so the adjective agrees with it:

   • التوصيل كان مجاني = delivery was free

If the speaker were talking about the present, they could say:

• التوصيل مجاني = delivery is free

Yes. مجاني means free, in the sense of costing nothing.

So:

• التوصيل كان مجاني = delivery was free

This is about price, not freedom.

In spoken Arabic, you may also hear other expressions for free of charge, but مجاني is very common and easy to understand.

A more formal version could be:

لم نحصل على خصم فحسب، بل كان التوصيل مجانيًا أيضًا.

That is much closer to Modern Standard Arabic.

Compared with the Levantine sentence:

مو بس اخدنا خصم، كمان التوصيل كان مجاني.

the differences include:

• مو بس instead of the formal فحسب
• اخدنا instead of the more formal حصلنا على
• كمان instead of أيضًا

So the original sentence is clearly natural spoken Levantine.

A rough pronunciation is:

moo bas akhadna khasem, kaman it-tawseel kan majjaani

A few notes:

• مو = moo
• بس = bas
• اخدنا = akhadna
• خصم is often pronounced with an inserted helping vowel in speech, something like khasem
• كمان = kaman
• التوصيل = it-tawseel or et-tawseel, depending on accent
• كان مجاني = kan majjaani

Pronunciation varies a bit across Levantine regions, but this will be understood well.
