من وقت ما بلشت محاضرات الجامعة، صار عندي واجب كل يوم.

من وقت ما means since or from the time that.

So:

• من = from
• وقت = time
• ما = a connector here, helping form the expression

Together, من وقت ما بلشت محاضرات الجامعة means since the university lectures started.

In Levantine, من وقت ما is a very common way to say since in everyday speech.

Because the subject is محاضرات الجامعة, and محاضرات is a plural non-human noun.

In Arabic, non-human plurals are usually treated grammatically like feminine singular. That is why the verb is in the feminine singular past form:

• بلش = he started
• بلشت = she started / it started (feminine singular)

So even though lectures is plural in meaning, Arabic grammar treats محاضرات here as feminine singular for agreement.

It literally means the university’s lectures or university lectures.

Breakdown:

• محاضرات = lectures
• الجامعة = the university

This is an iḍāfa structure, which is like a noun + noun relationship in Arabic. In English, that often becomes:

• the university lectures
• university lectures
• lectures at the university

Depending on context, all of these can sound natural in English.

Because in an iḍāfa construction, the first noun usually does not take ال, even when the whole phrase is definite.

So:

• محاضرات الجامعة = the university lectures

The definiteness comes from the second noun, الجامعة. Since الجامعة is definite, the whole phrase becomes definite.

This is a very common Arabic pattern.

Here صار means became or came to be.

So:

• صار عندي واجب = I started having homework / I came to have homework

In natural English, the whole sentence is often best understood as:

• Since university lectures started, I’ve had homework every day.
• Ever since my university lectures started, I’ve had homework every day.

In Levantine, صار is very common for expressing a new state or situation:

• صار عندي شغل = I now have work / I ended up having work
• صار في مشكلة = there became a problem / a problem came up

Arabic usually expresses possession with عند plus a pronoun, not with a direct equivalent of the English verb to have.

So:

• عندي = at me → I have
• عندك = at you → you have
• عنده = at him → he has

So:

• عندي واجب literally = at me [is] homework
• natural English = I have homework

This is one of the most important patterns for English speakers to get used to in Arabic.

واجب means homework or an assignment, depending on context.

In everyday Arabic, واجب is often used as a collective or uncountable-type noun, similar to how English says homework rather than homeworks.

So:

• عندي واجب = I have homework
• عندي واجبات = I have assignments / pieces of homework

In this sentence, واجب كل يوم sounds natural because it means homework every day.

كل يوم means every day.

Breakdown:

• كل = every / each
• يوم = day

In this sentence it comes at the end:

• صار عندي واجب كل يوم

That word order is very natural in Arabic. English can also put every day at the end:

• I have homework every day

So this part maps quite neatly between the two languages.

This is a great question, because Arabic and English handle this differently.

صار is past tense literally, but here it marks the beginning of a state:

• it became the case that I have homework every day

The sentence is saying that from a certain point in the past, this became true, and it is understood to continue.

So the Arabic past tense here often corresponds to English expressions like:

• I’ve had homework every day since...
• ever since..., I’ve had homework every day

This is very normal in Arabic.

Yes. بلش / بلشت is a very common Levantine verb meaning to start.

Examples:

• بلشت = I started / she started / it started, depending on context
• بلشوا = they started
• ببلّش = I start / I’m starting

In Modern Standard Arabic, learners often meet بدأ instead. In Levantine conversation, بلش is extremely common and natural.

Yes, in many Levantine varieties, من لما can also mean since.

For example:

• من وقت ما بلشت محاضرات الجامعة
• من لما بلشت محاضرات الجامعة

Both can be understood as since the university lectures started.

That said, the exact preference can vary by region and speaker. من وقت ما is very common and clear.

The subject is محاضرات الجامعة.

So the clause is:

• بلشت محاضرات الجامعة = the university lectures started

Even though the verb comes first, the subject is still محاضرات الجامعة.

Because that subject is a non-human plural, the verb appears in feminine singular form: بلشت.

Yes, depending on context, محاضرات can sometimes be translated as lectures, and in looser English it may even sound natural as classes.

More literally:

• محاضرة = lecture
• محاضرات = lectures

But if someone is speaking casually about university life, an English speaker might naturally say:

• Since my university classes started, I’ve had homework every day.

So the best translation can depend on how formal or natural you want the English to sound.

The comma marks a pause between the since-clause and the main clause:

• من وقت ما بلشت محاضرات الجامعة، صار عندي واجب كل يوم.

When spoken, there is usually a slight pause after الجامعة.

In natural speech, it would flow as two chunks:

• من وقت ما بلشت محاضرات الجامعة
• صار عندي واجب كل يوم

That pause helps show the structure: Since the university lectures started, I’ve had homework every day.

Yes, it definitely can, depending on tone.

The sentence itself is neutral grammatically, but in real conversation it can easily suggest something like:

• Now I have homework every day
• I’ve ended up with homework every day

Because صار often highlights a change in situation, it can sometimes carry a sense of and now this is my reality, which may sound slightly complaining, surprised, or resigned depending on the speaker’s voice and context.
