Questions & Answers about عندي مال في هذا الحساب.

Why does Arabic use عندي instead of a verb meaning I have?

In Arabic, possession is very often expressed without a verb like English have.

• عند literally means something like at or with
• عندي = at me / with me
• So عندي مال literally means There is money with me or I have money

This is a very common Arabic pattern:

• عندي كتاب = I have a book
• عندها سيارة = She has a car
• عندهم وقت = They have time

So the sentence is built around a possession expression, not a separate verb.

What exactly is عندي made of?

عندي is made of two parts:

• عند = at / with
• ـي = the suffix pronoun my / me

So:

• عندي = with me / I have
• عندك = with you
• عنده = with him
• عندنا = with us

This suffix is attached directly to عند.
