يهرس صديقي المكون في وعاء الخلط.

Because Modern Standard Arabic often prefers verb–subject–object order.

So:

• يهرس = the verb
• صديقي = the subject
• المكون = the object

This is a very normal Arabic sentence pattern. You could also say:

صديقي يهرس المكوّن في وعاء الخلط.

That version is also correct, but it gives a little more emphasis to my friend.

The base noun is صديق = friend.

When you add the suffix ـي, it means my:

• صديق = friend
• صديقي = my friend

This suffix is attached directly to the noun, so Arabic does not need a separate word for my.

Because a noun with a possessive suffix is already definite.

So:

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

You do not say الصديقي here. The ـي already makes it specific.

In a normal verb-first sentence, the noun right after the verb is usually the subject.

So here:

• يهرس = crushes / mashes
• صديقي = my friend → the doer of the action
• المكوّن = the ingredient → the thing being acted on

If the sentence were fully vowelled, the object would show the accusative ending:

المكوّنَ

Meanwhile, صديقي is the subject, but because it ends with the possessive ـي, its case ending is not visible in the usual way.

In cooking context, this word is usually understood as the ingredient.

A more fully marked spelling would often be:

المكوّن

with a shadda on و.

In everyday Arabic writing, short vowels and other diacritics are often omitted, so you may see المكون even though the intended reading is المكوّن.

Also, the ال makes it definite:

• مكوّن = an ingredient / ingredient
• المكوّن = the ingredient

This part is a prepositional phrase.

• في = in
• وعاء = bowl / container
• الخلط = the mixing

The phrase وعاء الخلط is an iḍāfa construction, literally:

bowl of mixing

which is how Arabic expresses mixing bowl.

So في وعاء الخلط means:

in the mixing bowl

Because في is a preposition, وعاء is in the genitive case. In the iḍāfa, الخلط is also genitive.

One possible full reading is:

يَهْرِسُ صَدِيقِي الْمُكَوِّنَ فِي وِعَاءِ الْخَلْطِ.

This shows the grammar more clearly:

• يَهْرِسُ = verb
• صَدِيقِي = subject
• الْمُكَوِّنَ = direct object in the accusative
• فِي وِعَاءِ الْخَلْطِ = prepositional phrase, with genitive nouns

In normal printed Arabic, most of these short vowels are usually not written.

It can cover several English possibilities depending on context.

The Arabic imperfect verb often corresponds to:

• crushes / mashes
• is crushing / is mashing
• sometimes a habitual meaning, like usually crushes

So يهرس صديقي المكوّن... could mean either:

• My friend crushes the ingredient...
• My friend is crushing the ingredient...

Context tells you which is meant.

Most naturally, it describes where the action happens:

My friend crushes the ingredient in the mixing bowl.

But, just like in English, it can also be understood as describing where the ingredient is.

If Arabic wants to make that clearer, it can rephrase:

• يهرس صديقي المكوّنَ داخلَ وعاءِ الخلط = clearly focuses on the location of the action
• يهرس صديقي المكوّنَ الموجودَ في وعاءِ الخلط = clearly says the ingredient is the one located in the bowl

So the original sentence is normal, but a little context-dependent.

A helpful transliteration is:

yahrisu ṣadīqī al-mukawwin fī wiʿāʾi al-khalṭ

A few sounds that may stand out to an English speaker:

• ص in صديقي = an emphatic s
• ع in وعاء = the consonant ʿayn, a sound English does not have
• خ in الخلط = like the ch in Scottish loch or German Bach

If you are reading unvowelled text, remember that the exact short vowels are often supplied from context and vocabulary knowledge.
