Questions & Answers about مع انني مشغول في العمل، اكتب رسالة الى صديقي.

What does مع أنني mean, and is مع انني spelled correctly?

مع أنني means although I... or even though I... in this sentence.

A very common learner question is about the spelling:

• Careful standard spelling: مع أنني
• The version in your sentence: مع انني

In formal Modern Standard Arabic, it is better to write the hamza: أنني.
So the fully standard spelling is:

مع أنني مشغول في العمل، أكتب رسالة إلى صديقي.

Here, أنني is made of:

• أنّ = that
• ـني = me / I

Together after مع, the whole expression works like although I am...

Why is there no word for am in أنني مشغول?

In Arabic, the present-tense verb to be is usually not written.

So:

• أنا مشغول = I am busy
• literally: I busy

That is completely normal Arabic.

In this sentence:

• أنني مشغول = that I am busy / that I’m busy

Arabic usually leaves out am / is / are in the present tense, but not in the past or future.

For example:

• أنا مشغول = I am busy
• كنت مشغولًا = I was busy
