Hi, i was looking in an online dictionary. it seems there is not  
single word for "already" the expressed it as "qabla al-waqt  
almutawaqqaE" " before the expected time. (the E is the same first  
sound of the preposition "Ealay = on, above"
there was also "sabiqan = previously"

i'll let you know if i found other answers

Best,
Luma

I can't think of a verb,
!لــسُـرعان ما نـسـيـت
how fast did you forget!
هـل نـسـيـتَ بـهـذهِ السرعة؟
Have you forgotten "that fast" already?

alam Everyone,

Regarding Ben's query on 'already' in fusha, below is my attempt at
rendering the essence of the Egyptian exclamation in Standard Arabic:

My translation of
هل نسيتَ حقاً؟
Hal naseeta haqqan?
Have you genuinely forgotten?

كِدتَ تنسى؟
Kidta tansaa?
You almost forgot?

هل أوشكتَ أن تنسى؟
Hal awshakta an tansaa?
Have you almost forgotten?

Best Du3a,
sane yagi
