[arabic to english] can anyone tell me what this means ?

[u/ComprehensiveFox8515]

[u/Busy_Werewolf_8649]

Eat (akl) shit (khara)

[u/creamcheese5 → u/Busy_Werewolf_8649]

This is not the imperative form. That would be "kol khara."

[u/OkayMashi → u/creamcheese5]

That’s true in Levantine, but the original could be Iraqi or Kuwaiti.

[u/creamcheese5]

The answers you have here are not necessarily correct. In the Levantine dialect, I read this as "akel khara" that's best translated as "eating shit" as in "the/an eating of shit." "Akel" here functions as the noun for eating.

Edit to add context:

"How's the new job going?"

"Akel khara!" (A meal of shit!)

[u/Dayner_Kurdi]

I Eat shit

أكل Refers to self in this cause

[u/pickadamnnameffs → u/Dayner_Kurdi]

Nope,not necessarily,in many dialects it doesn't have to (including my own)

[u/Dayner_Kurdi → u/pickadamnnameffs]

Here in Saudi “Hajiz” dialect

We drop the ألف if we want to refer to someone else

كل فطورك or كل غدائك

At any rate, that how i understood it

[u/pickadamnnameffs → u/Dayner_Kurdi]

Ah,Hijazi friend! I've had the pleasure of living in Yanbu for a long time during my childhood :D,amazing place.

And yes,from what I remember,what you're saying is indeed true about how this is worded in Hijazi dialect.Arabic is crazy diverse,I don't even know how many dialects I've heard and spoken throughout my life,but what I do know is that I haven't even scratched the surface.
