امي قالتلي اروح عالعيادة لانه من الصبح عندي دوخة.

Yes—if you write it more carefully or in Modern Standard Arabic, you will often see أمي.

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.

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

This is a very common structure in spoken Arabic.

Literally, it is something like:

• My mother said to me: I go
• but the intended meaning is My mother told me to go

In colloquial Levantine, after verbs like قال in this kind of context, the next verb can function like reported speech or an instruction. So قالتلي اروح naturally means she told me to go.

In more explicit wording, some speakers might say something like:

• قالتلي إني أروح
• حكتلي أروح

But قالتلي اروح is very natural in speech.

Because this is Levantine Arabic, not formal Modern Standard Arabic.

• أذهب = formal / MSA for I go
• أروح = everyday Levantine I go

The verb راح / يروح is extremely common in spoken Arabic for movement:

• بروح = I go / I’m going
• رحت = I went
• بدي أروح = I want to go

So اروح here is the natural colloquial choice.

Great question. In Levantine, بـ often marks the ordinary present tense:

• بروح = I go / I’m going

But after verbs like قالتلي in a meaning such as told me to go, the following verb is commonly used without بـ:

• قالتلي اروح = she told me to go

So here اروح is not a regular present like I am going. It is more like a dependent verb after told me, expressing what I should do.

عالعيادة = على + العيادة

This contraction is very common in Levantine:

• على الـ → عالـ

So:

• على العيادة becomes عالعيادة

It means to the clinic or to the doctor’s clinic/office, depending on context.

You will see this pattern a lot:

• عالبيت = to the house / home
• عالمدرسة = to the school
• عالطريق = on the road / to the road

Yes, على literally often means on or onto, but in colloquial Arabic it can also be used in ways that English would translate with to.

So اروح عالعيادة naturally means go to the clinic.

This is one of those cases where the Arabic preposition does not match English one-to-one. It is better to learn راح على as a common spoken pattern meaning went to / go to in many contexts.

العيادة usually means clinic, doctor’s office, or medical practice.

It is not usually the same as hospital.

Useful contrast:

• عيادة = clinic / doctor’s office
• مستشفى = hospital

So this sentence suggests going to a clinic or doctor’s office, not necessarily a hospital.

لانه means because.

More formally, it is written لأنه. In casual writing, people often omit the hamza, so لانه is very common.

It breaks down historically as:

• لـ = for / because of
• أنه = that he/that it

But as a learner, it is easiest to treat لأنه as the everyday word for because.

Because the sentence is saying because since the morning I have dizziness, not because I... with a first-person suffix attached to the conjunction itself.

Compare:

• لأنه = because / because he / because it
• لأني = because I

In this sentence, the speaker says:

• لانه من الصبح عندي دوخة
• because since the morning I have dizziness

So the first-person meaning appears later in عندي (I have), not inside لأني.

Also, in everyday speech, لأنه is often used very broadly as plain because, regardless of strict formal breakdown.

من الصبح literally means from the morning.

In natural English here, that usually becomes:

• since this morning
• since the morning
• sometimes all morning, depending on context

So it tells you when the dizziness started.

This is a very common time expression in Levantine:

• من مبارح = since yesterday
• من زمان = for a long time / since long ago
• من أول الأسبوع = since the beginning of the week

Literally, it means I have dizziness.

This is a very common Arabic way to talk about physical states and symptoms:

• عندي صداع = I have a headache
• عندي حرارة = I have a fever
• عندي سعال = I have a cough

So instead of using an adjective like English sometimes does, Arabic often uses عندي + noun.

دوخة most commonly means dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling faint/spinny.

Depending on context, it can sometimes overlap a bit with feeling unwell in a general way, but its core meaning is dizziness rather than nausea.

If someone wanted to be more specifically about nausea, they might use other words depending on dialect and situation.

عندي literally means at me or with me, but very often it means I have.

It is made from:

• عند = at / with
• ـي = my / me

So:

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

In this sentence:

• عندي دوخة = I have dizziness

Arabic and English often package information differently.

This sentence starts with:

• امي قالتلي = my mother told me

Then the action:

• اروح عالعيادة = to go to the clinic

Then the reason:

• لانه من الصبح عندي دوخة = because I’ve had dizziness since this morning

That order is very natural in Arabic. English might do the same, but Arabic is especially comfortable placing the reason at the end after لأنه.

In natural Levantine pronunciation, it would flow together something like:

• immi 'āletli arūḥ 'al-ʿiyāde, la'anno mn eṣ-ṣobḥ 'ندي dōkha

A few things to notice:

• امي is often pronounced immi
• قالتلي sounds connected: 'āletli
• عالعيادة flows as one chunk
• من الصبح may sound compact in fast speech

Exact pronunciation varies by region, but the connected, smooth rhythm is very typical.

It is clearly informal colloquial Levantine.

Signs of that include:

• casual spelling without hamzas: امي، اروح، لانه
• spoken vocabulary: اروح
• contracted form: عالعيادة
• natural everyday symptom expression: عندي دوخة

In formal Modern Standard Arabic, the sentence would look quite different.

A more formal version could be something like:

• أمي قالت لي أن أذهب إلى العيادة لأنني أشعر بدوار منذ الصباح.

That is much closer to Modern Standard Arabic.

Compare the main differences:

• أمي instead of امي
• قالت لي instead of قالتلي
• أن أذهب instead of اروح
• إلى العيادة instead of عالعيادة
• لأنني instead of لانه
• أشعر بدوار instead of عندي دوخة
• منذ الصباح instead of من الصبح

This helps show just how different spoken Levantine can be from formal Arabic.
