When you want to emphasize that you did something yourself, or that you prefer to meet someone face-to-face, you can use شخصياً.
For example, if you say "I delivered the letter شخصياً," it means you handed it over yourself, not through someone else or by mail.
You can also use it to express a personal opinion, like in "شخصياً, I think this is a good idea."
It’s a practical word for clarifying who is doing an action or stating a personal view directly.
§ Don't confuse it with 'in person' in all contexts
The word شخصياً (shakhsiyyan) means 'personally' or 'in person'. However, it's not always the right choice when you want to say 'in person' in English. This is one of the most common mistakes learners make.
§ Using it for meeting someone physically
When you want to say you're meeting someone 'in person' (physically), شخصياً can sometimes work, but often a more natural way is to use phrases like 'وجهاً لوجه' (wajhan li-wajh - face-to-face) or simply imply it from the verb. Using شخصياً here might sound a bit formal or like you're emphasizing that *you* specifically are the one meeting them, not someone else on your behalf.
سأقابله شخصياً غداً. (I will meet him *personally* tomorrow. - Implies 'I myself will meet him' rather than 'I will meet him face-to-face')
Compare that to:
أريد أن أتحدث معك وجهاً لوجه. (I want to talk to you face-to-face.)
Both mean 'in person' in English, but the Arabic nuance is different. Use شخصياً when you want to highlight *your own* presence or involvement.
§ Overusing it when stating an opinion
While شخصياً is perfect for saying 'personally, I think...', sometimes learners overuse it when it's already clear that an opinion is personal. In English, we often say 'personally, I believe...' to emphasize. In Arabic, it's often implicit or less common to use شخصياً unless there's a strong reason to distinguish your personal view from a general one.
شخصياً، أعتقد أنه قرار جيد. (Personally, I think it's a good decision.)
This is correct. However, if you just say 'أعتقد أنه قرار جيد' (I think it's a good decision), it's already understood that it's your personal opinion. Don't add شخصياً unless you really want to stress that it's *your* take, perhaps in contrast to what others might think or say.
§ Incorrect placement in a sentence
شخصياً is an adverb, so its placement can be flexible, but usually, it comes at the beginning of the sentence when expressing an opinion, or near the verb it modifies. Incorrect placement can make your sentence sound awkward or unnatural.
Correct:
شخصياً، أفضل القهوة السادة. (Personally, I prefer black coffee.)
Less common/awkward (depending on context):
أفضل القهوة السادة شخصياً. (I prefer black coffee personally.) - This might sound like you're emphasizing that *you*, personally, prefer it over someone else, which might not be the intended meaning.
§ Not understanding its formal tone
شخصياً can sound a bit formal. In casual spoken Arabic, people might use other ways to express personal opinions or direct actions. While not a 'mistake' per se, being aware of its formality helps you choose the right word for the right situation.
- Remember
- Practice makes perfect. Pay attention to how native speakers use شخصياً in different contexts to get a feel for its natural usage.
حقيقة ممتعة
The word 'شخص' (shakhs) means 'person' in Arabic, so 'شخصياً' literally means 'personally' or 'in a personal way'.
قواعد يجب معرفتها
Adverbs like شخصياً (personally) modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They often come at the end of a sentence or clause.
قابلتُ المدير شخصياً. (I met the manager personally.)
The "-اً" ending on many adverbs in Arabic (like شخصياً) is a tanween fath, indicating an indefinite accusative case. This is a common pattern for adverbs of manner.
تحدّثتُ معه مباشرةً. (I spoke with him directly.)
When using شخصياً, it emphasizes that the action was done by the speaker or subject themselves, without intermediaries.
أنا شخصياً أفضّل القهوة على الشاي. (Personally, I prefer coffee over tea.)
It can be used to distinguish between an action performed by someone and an action performed by an agent on their behalf.
هو ذهب شخصياً لتقديم الطلب. (He went in person to submit the application.)
شخصياً can also be used to express a personal opinion or feeling, similar to 'in my opinion' or 'as for me personally'.
شخصياً، أعتقد أن هذا هو الحل الأفضل. (Personally, I think this is the best solution.)

The adverb 'شخصياً' (personally) modifies the verb 'سأقابله' (I will meet him) and typically comes after it, followed by the purpose 'لأناقش الموضوع' (to discuss the matter).
The verb 'أفضل' (I prefer) is followed by 'التحدث إليه' (to speak to him). 'شخصياً' (personally) specifies the manner of speaking, and 'بدلاً من الهاتف' (instead of by phone) provides a contrast.
The question starts with 'هل' (interrogative particle) followed by 'يمكنك' (can you). 'تأكيد هذا' (confirm this) is the action, 'لي' (to me) is the indirect object, and 'شخصياً' (personally) specifies the manner of confirmation.
Choose the best translation for the bolded word: "أنا أفضّل التعامل مع الأمور **شخصياً** بدلاً من البريد الإلكتروني."
The context implies a preference for direct, face-to-face interaction over email, which aligns with 'personally'.
Which sentence uses "شخصياً" correctly to mean 'in person'?
In this sentence, 'شخصياً' directly refers to physical presence, meaning 'in person'. The other options use 'personally' in a more subjective, opinion-based context.
Select the sentence where "شخصياً" expresses a personal opinion or feeling.
Here, 'شخصياً' is used to emphasize that the belief is a personal one, not necessarily a shared or objective fact.
The phrase "قابلته شخصياً" (I met him personally/in person) always means a face-to-face encounter.
Yes, when paired with 'قابلتُه' (I met him), 'شخصياً' strongly indicates a direct, in-person meeting.
Using "شخصياً" after a verb always means 'in person' and never expresses a personal opinion.
This is false. While it often means 'in person' with verbs like 'قابل' (met) or 'حضر' (attended), it can also modify a verb to show a personal perspective, e.g., 'أرى شخصياً...' (I personally see...).
If someone says "أنا شخصياً لست متأكداً من ذلك", they are expressing a lack of personal certainty.
Correct. In this context, 'شخصياً' emphasizes that the speaker's uncertainty is a personal feeling or assessment.
I prefer to meet you in person to discuss the details.
I personally believe this is the best solution to the problem.
Do you prefer to receive the message in person or via email?
