الطابعة بالمكتب خربانة، فبعتت المستند لزميلي لانه عنده طابعة شغالة.

In Levantine Arabic, the present tense usually does not use a separate word for is / am / are.

So:

• الطابعة ... خربانة = the printer ... is broken
• عنده طابعة شغالة = he has a working printer

This is normal Arabic sentence structure. In the present tense, Arabic often just puts the subject and description next to each other.

بالمكتب means in the office or at the office here.

It is made of:

• بـ = in / at / with
• الـ = the
• مكتب = office (sometimes desk, depending on context)

So:

• بالمكتب = in the office / at the office

In Levantine, بـ is very commonly used where English would use in or at, so this sounds natural.
You might also hear في المكتب, but بالمكتب is very common in speech.

Because they are describing طابعة, and طابعة is grammatically feminine.

So the adjectives also appear in the feminine form:

• طابعة خربانة = a broken printer
• طابعة شغالة = a working printer

The masculine forms would be:

• خربان
• شغال

This kind of gender agreement is very important in Arabic.

خربانة means broken, not working, or messed up.

It comes from خربان / خربانة, a very common colloquial word in Levantine. For machines, devices, cars, printers, etc., it is extremely natural.

So:

• الطابعة خربانة = the printer is broken
• السيارة خربانة = the car is broken

In more formal Arabic, you might see something like معطّلة, but خربانة sounds very natural in everyday Levantine.

The فـ here means something like:

• so
• therefore
• so then

It connects the two parts of the sentence:

• The printer in the office is broken, so I sent the document...

So فبعتت is basically so I sent.

This فـ is very common in Arabic for showing result or sequence.

Here بعتت means I sent.

Arabic verbs often include the subject inside the verb itself, so you do not always need a separate word for I.

In context:

• فبعتت المستند = so I sent the document

A learner should know that in informal Arabic writing, forms like this can sometimes look a little ambiguous without vowels, but native speakers normally understand them from context.

لزميلي means to my colleague.

It breaks down as:

• لـ = to / for
• زميل = colleague
• ـي = my

So:

• لزميلي = to my colleague

This kind of attachment is very common in Arabic. Instead of writing separate words for my, Arabic often adds a suffix.

Yes—more formally, it is written لأنه.

In casual Arabic typing, people often leave out the hamza, so you may see:

• لانه
• لانو
• لأنه

All of these reflect the same basic word: because.

In Levantine pronunciation, it often sounds more like la’anno or la2anno than the more formal MSA pronunciation.

So in this sentence:

• لانه عنده طابعة شغالة = because he has a working printer

Literally, عنده is something like at him.

It is made of:

• عند = at
• ـه = him / his

In Arabic, possession is often expressed this way:

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

So:

• عنده طابعة شغالة = he has a working printer

This is one of the most important everyday structures in spoken Arabic.

Yes. شغالة here means working, functioning, or running.

It comes from شغّال / شغّالة, which is very common in Levantine for machines and devices.

So:

• طابعة شغالة = a working printer
• التلفون شغال = the phone is working / on
• المكيّف شغال = the AC is running

It is a very natural everyday word.

المستند is understandable and natural, especially in office or professional contexts, but it is a bit more formal or technical than some purely everyday dialect words.

That is very normal in real speech. Levantine speakers often use:

• colloquial grammar
• mixed with formal or semi-formal vocabulary

So this sentence is quite realistic: the structure is colloquial, while المستند sounds a little more professional, like document in English.

It is mostly Levantine in structure, but it has a bit of mixed register.

Clearly colloquial parts include:

• بالمكتب
• خربانة
• فبعتت
• عنده
• شغالة

The word المستند is more formal-sounding, but that kind of mixing is extremely common in real life, especially in work, business, and technology contexts.

So a good way to think about it is:

• grammar and phrasing: Levantine
• some vocabulary: slightly formal / shared with Standard Arabic
