بان انو التصليح غالي.

Here بان means something like:

• it became clear
• it turned out
• it appeared

It comes from the verb بان / يبين, which is used when something is revealed or becomes obvious.

So the sentence structure is basically:

• بان = it turned out / it became clear
• إنو التصليح غالي = that the repair is expensive

بان is the past tense form of the verb.

A helpful way to think about it:

• بان = it turned out / it became clear
• بيبين or بيّن in other contexts/forms can relate to showing or becoming clear

In this sentence, بان is being used impersonally, a lot like English it turned out that... There is no separate written word for it in Arabic here.

انو means that and introduces the clause that follows.

So:

• بان انو... = it turned out that...

In Levantine, this word is very common and is often written in different ways, such as:

• إنو
• انو

They represent the same everyday spoken word. The spelling varies a lot in informal writing.

Because in Arabic, the verb to be is usually not expressed in the present tense.

So:

• التصليح غالي literally looks like the repair expensive
• but it means the repair is expensive

This is completely normal in both spoken Arabic and Standard Arabic.

If you wanted a past meaning like was, Arabic would normally show that differently, depending on the structure and context.

التصليح is a noun meaning:

• the repair
• the fixing
• repair work

It comes from the verb صلّح = to repair / to fix.

So this is not a verb in the sentence; it is a noun.

You can think of it as similar to English verbal nouns like:

• repair
• fixing

The الـ makes the noun definite, like English the.

So:

• تصليح = repair / repairing
• التصليح = the repair / the repair work

In this sentence, it refers to a specific repair that is already understood from the context.

Because غالي is describing التصليح, and التصليح is treated as masculine singular.

So the adjective matches it:

• التصليح = masculine singular noun
• غالي = masculine singular adjective

If the noun were feminine, the adjective would normally change too.

Although it is written التصليح, it is not pronounced al-tasliiH in normal speech.

That is because ت is a sun letter, so the l of الـ assimilates.

So the pronunciation is more like:

• it-taSliiH
• or et-taSliiH

depending on dialect and transcription style.

So the full sentence might sound roughly like:

• baan enno t-taSliiH ghaali

It can depend on context.

Why?

• بان is past: it became clear / it turned out
• التصليح غالي is a present-tense nominal clause: the repair is expensive

So literally the structure is closer to:

• It became clear that the repair is expensive

But in natural English, depending on the situation, you might also translate it as:

• It turned out that the repair was expensive

Arabic often leaves this kind of time interpretation to context.

Yes, it is understandable, but many speakers might also say other versions depending on region and style, for example:

• بيّن إنو...
• اتبيّن إنو...
• طلع إنو...

These can all mean something like:

• it turned out that...
• it became clear that...

So بان انو التصليح غالي is fine, but it is not the only natural way to express the idea.

It breaks down like this:

• بان = it turned out / it became clear
• انو = that
• التصليح = the repair
• غالي = expensive

So the pattern is:

• Verb + that-clause

More specifically:

• بان
  • إنو
    • noun phrase + adjective

That final part, التصليح غالي, is a nominal sentence in Arabic: a noun followed by its description, with no present-tense is written.
