    yes, you're right CZAREK

    for example, if you go to a coffee shop, the waiter can tell you "o2mmor" which means litterally "order me"..

    but in the sentence you wrote.."ay 5edma enta to2moor ya pasha" it means "at your service, you can order me any time, master"

    it may seem like it's very formal, but it's used as a slang in a very friendly way

    5'edma=service

    2amara=to order ,to comand

    To be more precise here we can say"Any service you order ,chief/mrs?

    well, that's if you take the meaning exactly how it is, and this sentence is not in a question form..it would be "I'm at your service, you can command me anytime, chief"

    what may have confused you is that there's no comma "," ..it should have been "[b]ay 5edma ,enta to2mor ya pasha"

    no problem CZAREK..when you're learning a foreign language, it's easy to be confused..but from what I see on the language exchange thread, you're doing absolutely great good job

    Hello sweetie t2mor comes from 2amr = order/demand, so t2omor = Demand away


    ay 7'edma entaa to2mmmor ya basha = Anything you want sir?

    to2mor bi7aga = Do you want anything?

    Or if I want to ask from you a favour, and you say, t2mori = ask away

    Hope I helped!!

    you're right Viva, it doesn't mean Mrs. but I think he's saying that because in Egyptian women may also be called basha.. so I think when he translated it as "chief" that it's the best fit
