How do you say "Do you speak english?" in Arabic
I know in Egyptian arabic you would say anta betafham 3arabi / anti betafhami 3arabi (woman). How do you say it in standard arabic (MSA)?

"Do you speak English?"
This would be:
هَلْ تَتَحَدَّثُ الإِنْجْلِيزِيَّة؟
or
هَلْ تَتَحَدَّثِينَ الإِنْجْلِيزِيَّة؟ when asking a woman
When you want to ask if the person speaks Arabic, just replace الإِنْجْلِيزِيَّة with الْعَرَبِيَّة .The question would be :
هَلْ تَتَحَدَّثُ الْعَرَبِيَّة ؟
and
هَلْ تَتَحَدَّثِينَ الْعَرَبِيَّة ؟ (when speaking to a woman)
The Answer would be :
نَعَمْ، أَنَا أَتَحَدَّثُ الْعَرَبِيَّة/الإِنْجْلِيزِيَّة .
It means :"Yes,I speak Arabic/English."
or
لا، أَنَا لا أَتَحَدَّثُ الْعَرَبِيَّة/الإِنْجْلِيزِيَّة .
It means :"No,I don't speak Arabic/English."

هل تتحدث الانحليزية

"hal tatahaddath al enklezyia" if you're addressing a male, and "hal tatahaddatheena al enklezyia" if you're addressing a female. Btw "betefham" means "understand", and not "speak". So in Egyptian Arabic we actually say "betetkallem arabi" to a man and "betetkallemi arabi" to a female, we don't necessarily use the pronoun "inta", or "inti", we just drop it. Hope that helps :)
