Questions & Answers about مو بس اخدنا خصم، كمان التوصيل كان مجاني.

What does مو بس ... كمان ... mean as a whole?

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.

Why is بس used here? Doesn’t بس also mean but?

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.

Why is مو used instead of ما or مش?

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.
