إذا احتجت شيئاً آخر

You usually drop this phrase at the very end of an interaction. Think of it as a conversational 'closer.' If you are a guy speaking to a guy, use محتاج. If you are speaking to a woman, say محتاجة. If you are talking to a group, use محتاجين. It is incredibly flexible. You can say it as a standalone sentence or tack it onto a goodbye like مع السلامة، لو محتاج حاجة تاني كلمني (Goodbye, if you need anything else, call me).

Use it when you finish helping a colleague with a spreadsheet. Use it when a friend asks for directions and you've finished explaining. It is perfect for customer service settings too. If you are hosting a guest, saying this as they settle in makes them feel truly welcome. It is even great for texting after a long favor-related thread to show you don't mind the trouble.

Avoid using this if you are in a huge rush. Egyptians are famous for their generosity. If you say this, the other person might actually ask for something else! Don't use it in extremely formal, classical Arabic settings (like a court or a formal academic lecture). In those cases, Modern Standard Arabic is better. Also, don't use it sarcastically unless you want to sound quite rude to a friend.

Hospitality is the heartbeat of the Arab world. In Egypt, offering help is more than just being nice; it is a social duty. The word تاني (tani) technically means 'second' or 'again,' but here it functions as 'else.' By using this phrase, you are tapping into the 'Karam' (generosity) culture. It shows you are a 'gad' (a stand-up person) who doesn't leave friends hanging.

You might hear لو عوزت حاجة (if you wanted something) which is slightly more casual. In a shop, the clerk might say أي خدمة تانية؟ (Any other service?). If someone wants to be extra poetic, they might say عينيا ليك (My eyes are for you), meaning they are at your total disposal. But for daily life, لو محتاج حاجة تاني is the gold standard for being helpful without being over-the-top.
