B2 Expression 正式

لا أعرف حقاً

la a'rifu haqqan

I really don't know

意思

Emphasizing a lack of knowledge or information about something.

🌍

文化背景

In the Levant, people often replace 'La a'rifu haqqan' with 'Ma ba'ref wallah'. The use of 'Wallah' (by God) serves the same purpose of adding sincerity. Gulf speakers might use 'Ma adri' (ما أدري) even in semi-formal settings. It is shorter and very common, but 'La a'rifu haqqan' remains the choice for official speeches. Egyptians are known for their humor and might say 'Mish 'arif khalis' (Not knowing at all). However, in a university lecture, an Egyptian professor will use 'La a'rifu haqqan'. In North Africa, the negation often includes a 'sh' suffix (e.g., 'Ma 'arftsh'). 'La a'rifu haqqan' is recognized as the 'high' form used in literature and news.

💡

The 'Haqqan' Softener

Always use 'haqqan' if you want to sound more polite. A bare 'La a'rif' can sound cold or lazy.

⚠️

Avoid 'Ma' in Writing

When writing an email or an essay, always use 'La أعرف' instead of 'Ma أعرف' to maintain a professional tone.
