文化的背景
This expression is deeply rooted in Egyptian hospitality. It reflects the cultural value of making others feel comfortable and reducing 'khagal' (shyness/embarrassment) in social interactions. It became a standard part of the dialect as a way to soften requests and offers.
The 'Sh' Secret
In Egyptian Arabic, that 'sh' at the end is like a magic button for negation. If you forget it, the sentence sounds like a command TO hesitate!
Watch the Tone
Say it with a smile. If you say it too fast or with a flat face, it might sound like you're impatient rather than encouraging.

What It Means
Imagine you are at a friend's house. You are eyeing the last piece of baklava on the plate. Your friend catches your gaze and says ماتترددش. It is the ultimate 'go for it' phrase. It clears the air of any awkwardness or shyness. It is not just about speed; it is about comfort. You are telling the other person they are fully welcome to act. It is like giving someone a verbal green light.
How To Use It
In Egyptian Arabic, we use a 'sandwich' negation. We add ما (ma) at the start and ش (sh) at the end of the verb. For a man, say ماتترددش (Ma-tet-rad-ed-sh). For a woman, it is ماتتردديش (Ma-tet-rad-ed-eesh). If you are talking to a group, use ماتترددوش (Ma-tet-rad-ed-oosh). It is a rhythmic, punchy word. The double 'd' in the middle gives it a nice little bounce when you say it.
When To Use It
Use it whenever you offer a favor. 'If you need a ride, ماتترددش.' Use it when someone is shy about asking a question in a meeting. It works perfectly in text messages too. If a friend asks if they can call you late at night, hit them with a quick ماتترددش. It shows you are open, available, and genuinely happy to help. It is a staple of daily social lubrication.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use it if the choice is actually dangerous or high-stakes. If someone asks, 'Should I quit my job with zero savings?' please do not say ماتترددش. Also, avoid it in very stiff, strictly legalistic environments. It is a bit too warm and personal for a courtroom or a high-stakes contract negotiation. You do not want to sound like you are rushing someone into a bad legal decision!
Cultural Background
Egyptians are famous for their hospitality and 'Karam' (generosity). We hate the idea of a guest feeling 'te'eel' (heavy or like a burden). This phrase is a tool to fight that feeling. It is part of the 'zo'o' (etiquette) culture. It signals that your request is not a bother at all. It turns a simple transaction into a warm human connection. It is about making the other person feel at home.
Common Variations
You might hear ما تكسفش (don't be shy) in similar contexts. Or خليك براحتك (be at your ease). In more formal Modern Standard Arabic, you would say لا تتردد (La tat-arad-ad). But in the streets of Cairo, the 'sh' ending is the king of conversation. If you want to sound extra cool, you can use the slang دوس (doos), which literally means 'press' or 'step on the gas.'
使い方のコツ
This phrase is the bread and butter of Egyptian social interaction. It sits perfectly in the 'neutral' zone—polite enough for a stranger, but warm enough for a best friend. Just remember to conjugate for gender!

Watch the Tone

The 'Azouma' Culture
Egyptians often practice 'Azouma' (insisting on giving). If someone says 'no' to your offer, saying `ماتترددش` is your way of showing you really mean it.
