ما بحب لما حدا يتجاهل سؤالي، اذا كان مشغول بيقدر يرد بعدين.

Because this sentence is in Levantine colloquial Arabic, not Modern Standard Arabic.

• بحب = I like / I love
• ما بحب = I do not like

In Levantine, ما is the normal negation for many present-tense verbs.
So:

• بحب = I like
• ما بحب = I do not like

By contrast, لا أحب is more formal and more typical of Standard Arabic.

In Levantine, the prefix بـ often marks the non-past / present / habitual form of the verb.

So:

• بحب = I like
• بيقدر = he can / he is able
• بيرد would mean he replies

The بـ is very common in everyday speech. It is one of the big differences between Levantine and Standard Arabic.

Arabic does not need a dummy object like English often does.

In English, we usually say:

• I do not like it when...

But in Levantine Arabic, you can simply say:

• ما بحب لما...
• literally: I do not like when...

That is completely normal. Arabic often skips words that English needs for structure.

Here, لما means when or whenever.

So:

• ما بحب لما حدا يتجاهل سؤالي
• = I do not like it when someone ignores my question

In this sentence, لما introduces a situation or event that happens.

Do not confuse it with other uses of لما in Arabic, because depending on dialect and context, it can have other meanings too. Here it simply means when.

They do different jobs:

• لما = when
• اذا = if

So the sentence has two parts:

• ما بحب لما حدا يتجاهل سؤالي
  = I do not like it when someone ignores my question

• اذا كان مشغول بيقدر يرد بعدين
  = if he is busy, he can reply later

A learner often notices both and wonders why Arabic uses two different words. The reason is the same as in English: one introduces a time/situation, the other introduces a condition.

حدا is a very common Levantine word meaning someone, anyone, or a person, depending on context.

Here it means:

• حدا يتجاهل سؤالي
• someone ignores my question

It is a colloquial word. A more formal Standard Arabic equivalent would be something like أحد in some contexts, but in everyday Levantine, حدا is extremely common.

Because حدا is treated as a singular generic person, and Arabic normally defaults to masculine singular in that kind of situation.

So:

• حدا يتجاهل = someone ignores
• كان مشغول
• بيقدر

All of these are referring back to that generic someone, so they stay in masculine singular form.

This does not necessarily mean the speaker is talking only about a male person. It is just the default grammatical form.

يتجاهل means he ignores or he is ignoring, depending on context.

The base verb is تجاهل = to ignore.

In this sentence:

• حدا يتجاهل سؤالي
• = someone ignores my question

Arabic present forms often cover both simple present and present continuous meanings, so the exact English translation depends on context.

سؤالي means my question.

It is made of:

• سؤال = question
• ـي = my

So:

• سؤالي = my question

This is a very common Arabic pattern: attach a pronoun suffix directly to the noun.

Examples:

• كتابي = my book
• بيتي = my house
• اسمي = my name

In the sentence, سؤالي is the object of يتجاهل:

• يتجاهل سؤالي = ignores my question

Yes, كان often means was, but in Arabic it is also commonly used in structures that English translates with is, especially in condition-like phrases.

So:

• اذا كان مشغول
• literally something like if he is being busy / if he is busy
• natural English: if he is busy

In Levantine, this sounds very normal. You may also hear shorter versions in speech, but اذا كان مشغول is a very natural way to say if he is busy.

Also, the subject is already understood from the verb form كان and from the earlier حدا, so there is no need to add هو.

Because after a verb like بيقدر = he can, the next verb usually appears without بـ.

So:

• بيقدر يرد = he can reply

This is similar to English:

• he can reply not
• he can replies

The first verb carries the tense/modal meaning, and the second verb stays in a simpler form.

Here, يرد means reply, respond, or sometimes answer, depending on context.

So:

• بيقدر يرد بعدين
• = he can reply later

It is similar to يجاوب, which also means answer.

Very roughly:

• يرد often feels like reply/respond
• يجاوب often feels like answer

But in many everyday situations, they overlap a lot.

For the same reason as يتجاهل and بيقدر: it refers back to حدا, which is treated as a generic singular person.

So Arabic uses:

• كان مشغول
• بيقدر

all in masculine singular.

If the speaker were clearly talking about a woman, the forms would change accordingly.

بعدين means later or afterwards.

So:

• بيقدر يرد بعدين
• = he can reply later

Putting بعدين at the end is very natural in Levantine. It works much like English later at the end of a sentence.

You could think of the second clause as:

• If he is busy, he can reply later.

That final بعدين softens the whole sentence a bit, because it shows the speaker is not demanding an immediate reply, only a reply eventually.
