هل علي أن أختم التذكرة قبل الركوب ؟
randomization : hal 3alai-ya an akhtomat-tathkirata qablar-rukub?
هل: (hal ) means "do I , do you, do she,.. etc. it's simply to ask a question
علي: ( alai-ya) literally it means " on me" it is على (on) + ي ( possessive ending)= عليّ
أن: ( an) to
أختم: (akhtom) stamp
التذكرة : ( at-tathkirah) the ticket
قبل : ( qabla) before
الركوب : ( ar-rukub) boarding/ riding
so the sentence literally means: is it on me to stamp the ticket before boarding?
so generally it means : do I have to stamp the ticket before boarding ?
so when علي is followed by أن it means together "I have to"
عليك أن: you have to ... and so on
examples for علي أن :
علي أن أذهب إلى الحمام ( alai-ya an ath-haba ilal-7am-mam )
I have to go to the bathroom :D
علي أن أخبرها الحقيقة ( alai-ya an ukhbiruhal-7aqiqa)
I have to tell her the truth.
علي أن أوقفها قبل أن يفوت الأوان ( alai-ya an u-qifuha qabla an yafutal-awan.
I have to stop her before it's too late.
( sounds real dramatic my example sentences huh? XD )
hope I could help :)

the sentence mean " i have to stamp the ticket before boarding"
عليَّ أن = I have to
أختم = Stamp
التذكرة = The ticket
قبل = Before
الركوب = Boarding
عليَّ أن used to express that you have to do something " it is a necessary thing "
" i have to study hard to get full marks " علي أن اذاكر جيداً حتى أحصل على الدرجات النهائية
" we have to buy a new car " علينا أن نشتري سيارة جديدة
Good Luck :)

the word على أن is for expressing yourself,, e.g : i have to sleep = على أن أنام
but when you are talking to someone else you say : you should sleep = عليك أن تنام
also you can use the word لازم but it's not formal arabic or fosaha (fo97a) ,
لازم أتحدث معك = i have to speak to you .
the word لابد is just like لازم but it's in fosaha (fo97a) e.g : لابد أن أتحدث معك =i have to speak to you.
but in both cases if you used لازم or لابد you reflect how important and critical what you are willing to do or asking for .
