سهل نحمل الكرسي.

A common Levantine-style pronunciation would be:

sahil nḥmil il-kursi
or
sahl nḥmil il-kursi

A few notes:

• سهل = sahil / sahl
• نحمل = nḥmil or sometimes niḥmil, depending on the speaker and region
• الكرسي = il-kursi or el-kursi

The ḥ in نحمل is the Arabic letter ح, which is a stronger, breathier sound than English h.

Yes. سهل literally means easy and is grammatically an adjective, but in this sentence it works like the predicate of the whole statement:

• سهل = easy
• نحمل الكرسي = that we carry the chair / for us to carry the chair

So the sentence structure is basically:

• Easy [for us to carry the chair].

This is normal in Arabic. An adjective like سهل can act as the main idea of the sentence without needing a separate word for it.

Because Arabic usually leaves out the verb to be in the present tense.

So where English says:

• It is easy

Arabic often just says:

• سهل = easy

That is completely normal. In the present tense, Levantine Arabic does not usually use a word meaning is.

In Levantine Arabic, many present-tense verbs use prefixes. The prefix نـ often marks we.

So:

• نحمل = we carry

You can think of it as:

• نـ = we
• حمل = the root related to carrying

So نحمل الكرسي means we carry the chair or, in this context, for us to carry the chair.

Arabic does not always use a separate word equivalent to English to before a verb.

In English, we say:

• It’s easy to carry the chair

In Arabic, it is very common to use a full verb form instead:

• سهل نحمل الكرسي

Literally, it looks more like:

• Easy [we carry the chair]

But the real meaning is the same as It’s easy for us to carry the chair.

الكرسي means the chair.

It is the direct object of نحمل:

• نحمل = we carry
• الكرسي = the chair

So together:

• نحمل الكرسي = we carry the chair

The الـ means the, so كرسي is chair, while الكرسي is the chair.

Because the sentence is built around the idea easy.

Arabic often puts the descriptive word first in this kind of structure:

• سهل نحمل الكرسي = It’s easy for us to carry the chair

If you put نحمل الكرسي first, it would sound less natural for this meaning. Starting with سهل makes it clear right away that you are describing the action as easy.

It is understandable, but in very casual spoken Levantine, many speakers might say something slightly more natural, such as:

• سهل نحمل الكرسي
• سهل علينا نحمل الكرسي = It’s easy for us to carry the chair
• سهل نشيل الكرسي = It’s easy to carry the chair

A very common everyday verb for carry in Levantine is يشيل / شال rather than يحمل / حمل, depending on region and context.

So in casual speech, نشيل الكرسي may sound more conversational than نحمل الكرسي.

Adding علينا makes the sentence explicitly mean easy for us.

Compare:

• سهل نحمل الكرسي = It’s easy to carry the chair / It’s easy for us to carry the chair
• سهل علينا نحمل الكرسي = It’s easy for us to carry the chair

So علينا adds the idea of for us more clearly.

Yes. This is very common.

For example:

• سهل أفهم = It’s easy for me to understand
• سهل تعملها = It’s easy to do it
• سهل نوصل = It’s easy for us to arrive / get there

So سهل + verb/clause is a useful pattern in Levantine.

Yes, depending on context, that is a very natural English translation.

Literally, the Arabic is closer to:

• It’s easy for us to carry the chair

But in real English, that often becomes:

• We can easily carry the chair

So the exact English wording may change, even though the Arabic structure stays the same.

A common way would be:

• مو سهل نحمل الكرسي = It’s not easy for us to carry the chair

In Levantine, مو is a very common negator for non-verbal sentences like this one.

If you want to be more explicit:

• مو سهل علينا نحمل الكرسي

That clearly means:

• It’s not easy for us to carry the chair

It leans toward spoken usage because of the simple structure, but the verb حمل can sound a bit more formal or neutral than very colloquial alternatives in some areas.

A few points:

• سهل is common in both Standard Arabic and Levantine
• نحمل is understandable in both
• In casual Levantine, many speakers might prefer نشيل

So the sentence is not wrong, but depending on the region, a more everyday spoken version might be:

• سهل نشيل الكرسي

The main thing is: do not force English structure onto Arabic.

In English, you expect:

• It is easy to carry the chair

In Levantine Arabic, the pattern is often more like:

• Easy [we carry the chair]

So remember these key points:

• no present-tense is
• no separate it
• no necessary to before the verb
• the adjective سهل can come first and govern the whole idea

That is one of the most important sentence patterns to get comfortable with in spoken Arabic.
