Learn Hardcore Arabic (Levantine): امي قالتلي اروح عالعيادة لانه من الصبح عندي دوخة. - My mother told me to go to the clinic because I have had dizziness since the morning.

In informal Levantine writing, people very often drop the hamza in everyday texting and casual messages, so امي is completely normal. The same thing happens elsewhere in this sentence, like:

اروح instead of أروح
لانه instead of لأنه

So this is mostly a spelling/register issue, not a change in meaning.

What does قالتلي break down into?

قالتلي = قالت + لي

قالت = she said
لي = to me

So literally it is she said to me.

In natural English, though, in this sentence it often feels more like she told me.

This attached pronoun pattern is very common in Levantine:

قاللي = he said to me
قالتلها = she said to her
قالتلهم = she said to them

Why does قالتلي اروح mean she told me to go?
