معنی
Indicating that there is plenty of time remaining for something.
زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'Karam' (hospitality) dictates that you should never let a guest feel like they are overstaying. Saying 'it's early' is a standard social ritual. Egyptians use 'لسه بدري' (Lissa badri) almost constantly. There is even a famous song by Sharifa Fadel with this title used to lament the end of Ramadan. In the Levant, time is often flexible. Arriving 'early' might actually mean arriving 'on time' by Western standards, so this phrase is used to justify a relaxed pace. The phrase 'Taw al-nas' is the local equivalent. It reflects a deep-seated communal culture where gatherings are the highlight of the day.
The Grammar Secret
Always remember the 'an' at the end of 'mubakkiran'. It's the mark of a high-level student who knows their 'Kana' sisters!
Don't be too formal
If you're at a loud party with friends, use 'Lissa badri' instead. 'La yazal al-waqt mubakkiran' might make you sound like a news anchor.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالYes, but usually you'd just say 'الوقت مبكر'. Adding 'لا يزال' implies that it *continues* to be early.
'Mubakkir' is MSA (formal), while 'Badri' is dialect (informal). They mean the same thing.
'Ma zala' is past tense (it was still), 'la yazal' is present (it is still).
That is the Tanween Fatha, required because the word is the predicate of a 'Kana' sister verb.
Yes, if you are asked about the results of a very recent task, it sounds very professional.
You say 'فات الأوان' (Fat al-awan).
It depends on your tone. If said kindly, it's reassuring. If said dismissively, it can be annoying.
No, because 'al-waqt' (time) is masculine, the phrase remains the same regardless of who you are talking to.
'Muta'akhiran' (متأخراً), which means late.
No, that mixes MSA and dialect in a way that sounds unnatural. Stick to one or the other.
