Questions & Answers about حملت العفش الخفيف عالشاحنة.
It can be understood as either, depending on how you choose to translate it into natural English.
The verb حمل basically means to carry / lift / bear. In a sentence with a truck, English often prefers loaded, so something like loaded the light furniture onto the truck may sound more natural than a very literal carried the light furniture onto the truck.
So the Arabic verb itself is broad; the best English wording depends on context.
By itself, حملت is ambiguous in normal Arabic spelling.
In Levantine, it can correspond to:
- I carried / loaded
- you (masculine singular) carried / loaded
- she carried / loaded
Usually, the surrounding context tells you which one is meant. Arabic often drops subject pronouns because the verb already gives a lot of that information.
If you wanted to make it explicit, you could add:
- أنا = I
- إنت = you (masc. singular, in many dialects)
- هي = she
