B2 Expression 正式

من غير الممكن

min ghayr al-mumkin

It is impossible

意思

Expressing that something cannot be done or achieved.

🌍

文化背景

In the Levant, people often use 'Mush mumkin' in daily life, but 'Min ghayr al-mumkin' is strictly for TV, law, and formal education. Using it at home might be seen as a joke about being 'too serious'. In Gulf business culture, 'Min ghayr al-mumkin' is a very useful tool for saying 'no' to a superior or a client without causing offense, as it attributes the 'no' to external circumstances. Egyptians are known for their humor and 'Ammiya'. 'Min ghayr al-mumkin' sounds very 'Fusha' (Classical) to them. In an Egyptian office, you might hear 'Ghayr mumkin' (shorter) more often than the full phrase. In the Maghreb, where French is common, this phrase is the direct equivalent of 'Il n'est pas possible' and is used in all official government communication.

🎯

The 'An' Rule

Always remember to use 'an' (أن) if you are following the phrase with a verb. Without it, the sentence falls apart.

⚠️

Don't over-use

If you use this in a casual text to a friend, you'll sound like you're writing a legal contract. Stick to 'mush mumkin' for friends.

The Polite No

Use this phrase when you want to say 'no' to a boss or elder. It sounds much more respectful than a direct 'la'.

Not exactly. 'Mustahil' is 'Impossible' (0% chance), while 'Min ghayr al-mumkin' is 'Not possible' (often due to current circumstances).

Only if it's a very formal business text. Otherwise, it's too heavy.

Because it follows the preposition 'min', which puts the following noun in the genitive case (Majrur).

Yes, 'Ghayr mumkin' is shorter and still formal.

No, you don't say 'I am min ghayr al-mumkin'. You say 'It is min ghayr al-mumkin for me to...'

The opposite is 'Min al-mumkin' (It is possible).

Yes, just add 'kana': 'Kana min ghayr al-mumkin' (It was not possible).

The root M-K-N is used, but this specific 3-word phrase is more modern/journalistic.

من غير الممكن تجاهل... (Min ghayr al-mumkin tajahul...)

No, it's actually very polite because it sounds objective.
