أقرأ عقد العمل حتى أعرف الراتب والدوام وفترة التجربة ومسؤولياتي.

A helpful pronunciation guide is:

aqraʾu ʿaqd al-ʿamal ḥattā aʿrif ar-rātib wa-d-dawām wa-fatrat at-tajriba wa-masʾūliyyātī

A few tricky sounds:

• أقرأ = aqraʾu
  
  • q represents ق, a deeper sound than English k
  • the final ʾ is a hamza, a small glottal stop
• ع in عقد and أعرف is the letter ʿayn, which has no exact English equivalent
• In الراتب, الدوام, and التجربة, the l of ال is not clearly pronounced because ر, د, and ت are sun letters, so you hear:
  • ar-rātib
  • ad-dawām
  • at-tajriba

If you want a slower chunk-by-chunk reading:

• أقرأ عقد العمل
• حتى أعرف
• الراتب والدوام
• وفترة التجربة ومسؤولياتي

Because أقرأ is the first-person singular imperfect form of the verb.

In MSA Arabic, the imperfect usually covers meanings like:

• I read
• I am reading
• I do read

The prefix أ- often marks I with many verbs.

So:

• أقرأ = I read / I am reading
• تقرأ = you read or she reads
• يقرأ = he reads
• نقرأ = we read

Also, this is different from the imperative:

• اقرأ = Read! (said to one male)

So the initial shape may look similar, but أقرأ is not a command here.

This is an iḍāfa construction, often called a genitive construction.

Literally, عقد العمل means:

• contract of the work

But in natural English, that becomes:

• the employment contract
• the work contract

In an iḍāfa:

• the first noun usually does not take ال
• the second noun shows whether the whole phrase is definite
• if the second noun is definite, the whole phrase is definite

So:

• عقد عمل = an employment contract
• عقد العمل = the employment contract

This is a very common Arabic pattern.

Here حتى means so that or in order that.

So the sentence structure is:

• I read the employment contract so that I know...

That is different from another common meaning of حتى, which is until.

For example:

• أنتظر حتى يأتي = I wait until he comes

So حتى can have more than one meaning, and you choose the right one from context.
In this sentence, it clearly expresses purpose.

Yes. After حتى when it means so that / in order that, the following imperfect verb is typically understood in the subjunctive.

So in fully vocalized Arabic, you would often see:

• حتى أعرفَ

In normal Arabic writing, short vowels are usually not written, so it appears simply as:

• حتى أعرف

That is why you do not visually see much difference in unvowelled text.

So the key idea is:

• حتى
  • imperfect verb can express purpose
• the verb is usually subjunctive in this use
• in everyday printed Arabic, the ending is often invisible

Because عرف is normally a directly transitive verb in this meaning.

So Arabic says:

• أعرف الراتب = I know the salary
• أعرف الدوام = I know the working hours/schedule

Arabic does not need a preposition equivalent to English about here.

A learner may want to say something like أعرف عن الراتب, but in standard Arabic, that is usually not the normal structure for this meaning. The direct object is the usual pattern.

So in this sentence, all these are direct objects of أعرف:

• الراتب
• الدوام
• فترة التجربة
• مسؤولياتي

In a job context, الدوام usually means something like:

• working hours
• work schedule
• attendance hours
• sometimes simply the job hours

So here it does not mean general continuity in an abstract sense.
It is specifically about the schedule or hours connected to the job.

You will often see it in expressions like:

• دوام كامل = full-time
• دوام جزئي = part-time
• ساعات الدوام = working hours

Again, this is an iḍāfa construction.

• فترة = period
• التجربة = the trial / the testing

Together:

• فترة التجربة = the probation period or the trial period

In an iḍāfa, the first noun normally does not take ال, so:

• فترة التجربة is correct
• الفترة التجربة is not the normal MSA structure

Also, because التجربة is definite, the whole phrase is definite.

So even without ال on فترة, the phrase can still mean the probation period.

مسؤولياتي means my responsibilities.

It is built like this:

• مسؤولية = responsibility
• مسؤوليات = responsibilities
• مسؤولياتي = my responsibilities

So the ending -ي here is the possessive suffix meaning my.

A rough pronunciation is:

masʾūliyyātī

A few learners also notice the hamza in the word. That is normal:

• مسؤولية
• مسؤوليات
• مسؤولياتي

So this is simply the plural noun plus a possessive suffix.

Because Arabic commonly uses و before each listed item, more readily than English does.

So this sequence is perfectly normal:

• الراتب والدوام وفترة التجربة ومسؤولياتي

English often uses commas and only one final and, but Arabic frequently links list items with repeated و.

So this sounds natural in Arabic, not overly repetitive.

You may also see commas in Arabic writing, but repeating و is very common and standard.

They do, but in normal Arabic writing the short vowels are usually omitted.

So the sentence is typically written:

• أقرأ عقد العمل حتى أعرف الراتب والدوام وفترة التجربة ومسؤولياتي

But if fully vocalized, parts of it would show endings such as:

• أقرأُ
• عقدَ العملِ
• حتى أعرفَ
• الراتبَ
• الدوامَ
• فترةَ التجربةِ

The important ideas are:

• عقد is the object of أقرأ
• أعرف is after حتى of purpose, so it is normally subjunctive
• the nouns after أعرف are its objects
• ordinary Arabic texts usually leave those short endings unwritten

So the grammar is still there, even when you cannot see all of it on the page.
