على المستوى المسجل

You will usually find this phrase acting as a qualifier for a noun. You might talk about النمو (growth) or الأداء (performance) being at a certain مستوى مسجل. It often follows adjectives like أعلى (highest) or أدنى (lowest). To use it correctly, you need to be talking about something measurable. You wouldn't use it for your mood unless you were being funny. It sits comfortably at the end of a sentence to provide authority to your statement. It’s a heavy-hitter phrase for when you want to sound precise.

This is your go-to for professional settings. Use it in a business meeting when comparing this year's sales to last year's. It is perfect for academic writing or when you are presenting a report. If you are watching a football match and a player breaks a record, this is the phrase the commentator will scream. You can also use it in serious discussions about the economy or climate change. It signals to your listener that you have done your homework and are citing facts.

Avoid this phrase in very casual settings unless you are being intentionally dramatic. If you tell your friend that your hunger is على المستوى المسجل, they might think you’ve spent too much time reading the news. It is too stiff for a first date or a casual chat at a cafe. Also, avoid using it for subjective feelings that can't actually be recorded. You can't really have a 'recorded level' of 'vibes' or 'coolness' in a literal sense. Keep it for things that actually go into a database.

This phrase is a product of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the rise of modern media. In the Arab world, news broadcasts and newspapers are highly formal. This specific expression became popular as data-driven reporting grew. It reflects a cultural respect for official documentation and history. In many Arab cultures, 'the record' (al-sijill) holds a lot of weight, whether it's family lineages or official government archives. Using this phrase taps into that sense of formal authority.

You might hear على الصعيد المسجل which means 'on the recorded level/scale.' Another very common one is بالمستوى القياسي, which specifically means 'at a record-breaking level.' While مسجل just means it was written down, قياسي (standard/record) implies it’s a new peak. If you want to be even more specific about the past, you could say على المستوى المسجل تاريخياً (at the historically recorded level).
