    مش equal NO in slang words.
    Fusha is the mother language but each country has it's own slangs like بالزاف meaning alot but we don't use these word in egypt cause it'snot our culture .

    مش = This word means ..(Not so ) or (not ) in the Arab-Egyptian
    But not used in classical Arabic

    عش = Nest

    in sudanese مش means (right?) , and it is good to know there are big differences between slang and fusha..so i think you should learn fusha first because it is the original and each Arab country has own slang words.

    مش and عش both means "not"

    and the dialect and fusha are differents in accents: and also interms of vocaburaries aswell.
