صارلي يومين ما عندي دوخة، والدوا اللي عطاني ياه الدكتور ساعدني.

صارلي is a very common Levantine way to talk about how long something has been going on.

Literally, it comes from صار + لي, so something like it became for me, but idiomatically it means:

• it’s been
• for ... now
• I’ve been ... for ...

So صارلي يومين means it’s been two days for me now or more naturally for two days now.

In this sentence, it sets up a duration: صارلي يومين ما عندي دوخة = For two days now, I haven’t had dizziness / I haven’t been dizzy.

يومين is the dual form of day, so it means two days.

In Levantine Arabic, the dual often shows up as -ين in everyday speech, so:

• يوم = a day
• يومين = two days

This is completely normal colloquial usage. You do not need to add the number two separately here.

Literally, عندي means at me or I have.

So:

• عندي دوخة = I have dizziness / I’m feeling dizzy
• ما عندي دوخة = I don’t have dizziness

Arabic often uses this kind of have structure for physical symptoms:

• عندي صداع = I have a headache
• عندي حرارة = I have a fever
• عندي دوخة = I have dizziness / I feel dizzy

So even though English often says I’m dizzy, Levantine commonly says I have dizziness.

Because ما is the normal negator here.

In Levantine, عندي in expressions like ما عندي is usually negated with ما:

• عندي وقت = I have time
• ما عندي وقت = I don’t have time

Likewise:

• عندي دوخة
• ما عندي دوخة

By contrast, مو or مش are more commonly used with nouns, adjectives, and some nonverbal predicates, depending on the region.

So in this sentence, ما عندي is the natural choice.

Because it refers to the general symptom dizziness, not a specific previously mentioned dizziness.

In Arabic, after عندي / ما عندي, symptoms and conditions are often indefinite:

• عندي صداع
• عندي كحة
• عندي دوخة

That sounds like I have a headache / cough / dizziness.

If you said الدوخة, it would sound more like the dizziness, meaning a specific known dizziness that both speaker and listener already have in mind.

اللي is the Levantine relative word meaning:

• that
• which
• who

It does not change for gender or number in colloquial Levantine.

So:

الدوا اللي عطاني ياه الدكتور means the medicine that the doctor gave me

You can think of اللي as the Levantine equivalent of English that/which/who in relative clauses.

This is one of the most important colloquial patterns in the sentence.

عطاني by itself means he gave me.

But give usually has two objects:

• the person receiving
• the thing being given

So in عطاني ياه:

• عطاني = he gave me
• ياه = it

Together: عطاني ياه = he gave it to me

Here, ياه refers back to الدوا.

This kind of extra object pronoun is very common in Levantine, especially in relative clauses:

• الكتاب اللي عطاني ياه = the book that he gave me
• الحبة اللي عطاني ياها = the pill that he gave me

Notice that ياه is masculine, because الدوا is masculine.
If the noun were feminine, you would usually get ياها instead.

Because Arabic often allows verb + subject order, especially inside relative clauses.

So this part is literally structured like:

• عطاني = gave me
• ياه = it
• الدكتور = the doctor

That gives: the medicine that gave-me-it the doctor

In natural English, we would say: the medicine that the doctor gave me

So the Arabic word order is different, but the meaning is the same. This is a normal and natural Levantine structure.

Yes. الدوا is the common Levantine colloquial form of الدواء.

In everyday speech, the final hamza in دواء is usually not pronounced the way it is in formal Arabic, so you hear:

• دواء in Modern Standard Arabic
• دوا in Levantine speech

So الدوا simply means the medicine.

ساعدني = ساعد + ني

• ساعد = helped
• ني = me

So ساعدني means it helped me or helped me.

In this sentence, the subject is الدوا, so the full meaning is:

the medicine helped me

Yes, very often.

A more literal translation is I don’t have dizziness, but natural English usually prefers:

• I’m not dizzy
• I haven’t been dizzy

So in this sentence:

صارلي يومين ما عندي دوخة

can very naturally be translated as:

• I haven’t been dizzy for two days
• For two days now, I haven’t had any dizziness

The Arabic uses a noun, دوخة, while English often uses the adjective dizzy.

No. It can be used with positive, negative, and ongoing situations.

For example:

• صارلي ساعة بستنى = I’ve been waiting for an hour
• صارلي أسبوع مريض = I’ve been sick for a week
• صارلي يومين ما شفته = I haven’t seen him for two days

So the pattern is very flexible. In your sentence, it just happens to be followed by a negative clause: ما عندي دوخة.
