يضع صديقي ميزانية؛ الرصيد واضح.

Yes, the basic meaning of يضع is he puts / he places. But like many Arabic verbs, it can also be used in broader, more abstract ways.

In this sentence, يضع ميزانية means something like:

• he sets a budget
• he draws up a budget
• he prepares a budget

So this is a normal extended meaning, not just physically putting something somewhere.

Because Arabic verbs already include the subject in their form.

• يضع = he puts / he sets

The يـ at the beginning marks it as a third-person masculine singular imperfect verb.

So Arabic does not need a separate pronoun like هو unless you want extra emphasis or contrast.

صديقي means my friend.

It is made from:

• صديق = friend
• ـي = my

So:

• صديق = a friend / friend
• صديقي = my friend

That final ـي is a attached possessive pronoun meaning my.

This is a very common Arabic word order.

The sentence begins with a verb:

• يضع صديقي ميزانية

This is a verbal sentence, and a common order is:

• verb + subject + object

So here:

• يضع = verb
• صديقي = subject
• ميزانية = object

Arabic can also use a different order in some contexts, but this verb-first pattern is very normal.

Because the sentence is talking about a budget, not necessarily the budget.

• ميزانية = a budget / budget
• الميزانية = the budget

So يضع صديقي ميزانية suggests that my friend is preparing or setting up some budget, not a specifically identified one.

If the context were about a known budget, then الميزانية could be used.

الرصيد usually means:

• the balance
• the amount available
• sometimes credit depending on context

It often refers to a financial balance, account balance, or remaining amount. In this sentence, it most naturally means the balance.

In Arabic, present-tense sentences often do not use a word for is / are.

So:

• الرصيد واضح literally looks like:
• the balance clear

But it means:

• the balance is clear

This is completely normal in Arabic. In the present tense, the verb to be is usually omitted.

Because واضح here is the predicate, not an adjective directly attached to the noun.

Compare:

• الرصيد واضح = the balance is clear
• الرصيد الواضح = the clear balance

In the sentence you gave, the structure is:

• الرصيد = the subject/topic
• واضح = the predicate describing it

That is why واضح does not take الـ.

Yes.

واضح is masculine singular, and it matches الرصيد, which is also masculine singular.

If the noun were feminine, you would normally use the feminine form:

• واضحة

For example:

• الميزانية واضحة = the budget is clear

In يضع صديقي ميزانية:

• يضع = verb
• صديقي = subject
• ميزانية = direct object

In full case marking, the object ميزانية would be accusative:

• ميزانيةً

The subject صديقي is nominative in function, but with ـي attached, the case ending is not clearly heard in the usual written form.

So a fully vowelled version could be written approximately as:

• يضعُ صديقي ميزانيةً؛ الرصيدُ واضحٌ

The Arabic semicolon ؛ is often used to link two closely related statements, especially when the second explains or comments on the first.

Here, the two parts are connected:

• يضع صديقي ميزانية
• الرصيد واضح

So the semicolon helps show a relationship between the two ideas.

A comma or full stop might also appear in some writing, depending on style, but ؛ is perfectly natural.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

• yaḍaʿu ṣadīqī mīzāniyyah; ar-raṣīdu wāḍiḥ

A few notes:

• ض in يضع and واضح is an emphatic consonant
• ص in صديقي and الرصيد is also emphatic
• الـ before رصيد is pronounced ar- because ر is a sun letter, so the l sound assimilates

So الرصيد is pronounced:

• ar-raṣīd

not al-raṣīd.

Yes. Depending on context, you could translate it as:

• puts
• sets
• establishes
• draws up
• prepares

With ميزانية, the most natural English choices are usually:

• sets a budget
• draws up a budget
• prepares a budget

So the best translation depends on how natural you want the English to sound.
