An adjective describing something of low quality or negative.
문화적 배경
In the Levant, people often use 'mish mnih' (not good) instead of 'sayyi'' to sound less formal and more friendly. Egyptians frequently use 'mish kwayyes' or 'wehesh' (وحش) for bad. 'Sayyi'' is reserved for news broadcasts or formal writing. In the Gulf, 'mish zain' (not good) is a very common dialect alternative to 'sayyi''. In North Africa, 'khayeb' (خايب) is the common dialect word for bad, while 'sayyi'' remains the literary standard.
