Practice the use of "عمر"

In this notebook entry, I want to practice the use of "عمر" in Egyptian Arabic. Again, any feedback you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

عمرك شربت بانجو و حشيش قبل كده؟

لأ, عمري ما شربت الإثنين

عمركوا زرتوا لندن؟

لأ, عمرنا ما زرنا لندن

عمره كل محشي؟

If you want to use اكل it's correct too, but we don't use it a lot. Personally, I have never used it, because كل (=kal) is easier to pronounce, especially when you're talking fast.  

 

Blue= Better. We can understand you, but I think it's better to write without unnecessary vowels. 

 

For example:

عمرك كلت محشي؟ 

=3omrak kalt ma7shi? 

=Have you ever eaten ma7shi? 

 

عمرها كلت محشي؟ 

=3omraha kalet ma7shi? 

=Has she ever eaten ma7shi? 


Both kalt and kalet are written as كلت, because we will know which one you mean from the context. 


Hope this helps.

عمرك شربت بانجو و حشيش قبل كده؟
لأ, عمري ماشربت الإثنين
It's a right structure question. But i think it is bad to ask someone that question unless he or she is a really close friend. 

عمركوا زورتوا لندن؟
لأ, عمرنا ما زورنا لندن
It's right also. Just it is better to leave a space ما زورنا  instead مازورنا because it is two words and we should clear that ما  is Separate word for the verb negativity (as not ). 

عمره كال محشي؟
Here you are not clear if you ask the question for someone absent (He) or someone here ( you)
so it would be
عمرك كلت / أكلت محشي ؟
[ Have you ever eat a mahshy ? ]

or
عمره كل/ أكل محشي ؟
[ Has he ever eat a mahshy?]

this if you ask somebody عمرك اكلت/كلت محشى ؟ - this if you talk about himعمره اكل/كل محشى ؟
