Exactly!

Ma sar shi = nothing happened

sho ma sar = whatever happens

This verbs are used in dialect mostly (Levantine one)
صار ظل

ما زال=is very Fos7a


Let try to analize Saara and Dhalla

Saar=present (yeSeer)

-to become

صرت اطول مني=Sert aTwal menne=She (became) taller than me or You are taller than me

صارت الدنيا ليل=Saaret donya lel=The word has become night=It got dark

-to happen ,to turn out

شو صار؟=shoo Saar?What's happened?

There is quite famous expression in Levantine arabic

صار لي,لك,له etc=it's been.....

صار لي سنة ما شوفت اهلي=Saar lee sena maa shoft ahlee=It is been a year since I saw my family

or

قديش صار لك هون؟=
2addesh Saar lak hon?How long have you been here?

ظل=in dialect it is written as "ضل"


*to stay ,to remain

انا ضليت بالبيت=ana Dallet bel-bayt

*to continue,keep on....

بضل يحكي-beDall ya7kee=he goes on talking


Hope it you get the point

Of course Viva should have a look at it

Viva trusts you

And Czarek just gave you a more detailed (with roots!) explanation

Another fus7a word you might like Czarek - sar = asba7a

These words are even used in fus7a kaman, like Rose said, they're a5awat kana, so they have a special i3rab

For more details ask Oriee she's our grammar girl ya Rose!
