كل شيء سار على ما يرام

You usually drop this at the end of a story. It acts as a summary for a whole event. The word مشيت literally means 'walked.' In this context, it means 'proceeded' or 'went.' You don't need to change much about it. It works for almost any situation. It is a past-tense expression. You are reporting back on something that is already finished. Just say it with a smile and a sigh of relief. You can use it in person or over text easily.

Use it after a nerve-wracking job interview. Use it after a first date that went well. It’s great for telling your mom about your travels. You can text it to a friend who is waiting for news. It’s perfect for when you fix something yourself. Use it when a complicated project at work finally finishes. It’s the best way to reassure someone who was worried about you. If you were nervous about a presentation, say this afterward.

Don't use it if things were just 'okay.' If there was a small problem, this phrase is too strong. Avoid using it in extremely formal legal settings. It is a dialect phrase, not Modern Standard Arabic. Don't use it to describe a person's physical walking. That would be confusing. If someone asks how you are doing right now, don't use this. It is specifically for events that have already happened. It’s for processes, not for your current mood.

Egyptians love the word تمام. It is the Swiss Army knife of the dialect. It can mean 'okay,' 'yes,' or 'perfect.' Using it shows you are relaxed and positive. It reflects a culture that values smooth social interactions. It’s a very 'no worries' kind of expression. In Egypt, saying things went well is often followed by الحمد لله. This shows gratitude and keeps the 'evil eye' away. It’s a way of sharing good news humbly.

You might hear people say كله تمام for short. Some people say الدنيا مشيت تمام to sound more poetic. If things were extra good, add زي الفل. That means 'like jasmine,' which is very Egyptian. Another common one is الموضوع خلص تمام. You can also say كله مشي زي ما أنا عايز. That means 'everything went exactly as I wanted.' These all carry the same happy energy.
