this might be correct in some language, but not in Egyptian Arabic. In the first place, there are only 8 persons, ana, ihna, enta, enti, entu(m), howa, hayya, humma.  and the except for the firsts 2 forms of the ver b, the rest is wrong..

wrong verb...Yes I know about the plurals of subject pronouns, not my question 6 answers and 3 mistakes: ashteri,  enta  ...no I at the end, same with  hayya

 

and it's still the wrong verb.  I meant to work not to buy.

I belive you mean what is the present tense of the word ishtari (without L), which means to buy.
buy .... in arabic is sheraa, .... so it will be
I buy ..... ana ashtry
We buy ..... nahno nashtary
He buys ..... howa yashtary
they buy ...... hom yashtaron 
She buys ..... heya tashtary
they buy ...... hon yashtaren
You buy ..... anta tashtary (male)
You buy ..... anti tashtary (female)
You buy ...... antom tashtaron (male, plural)
You buy ...... Anton Tashtaren (female, plural)

The word you perceive to be ishtaril is actually ishtaghal and it means "to be busy" not "to work". I presume you speak French and therefore hear the Arabic pharyngeal /gh/ as a French /R/. This is actually a lot of fun for me, because I did my PhD thesis on Egyptian Arabic words borrowed from French. And even though the French /R/ sounds like /gh/ to French people, it doesn't to Arabs. To Arabs, the French /R/ sounds like /r/. So a word like croissant is borrowed as kiraswaan NOT kighwasaan.


But to answer your question:


'+ishtaghil = I work

t+ishtaghil = you work

y+ishtaghil = he works

Greetings,

I am wishing to give you the best answer possible; keep in mind the following:

I in plural is we. You in plural is you. He and she in plural is they; therefore:

Ana ashtei .... inta  (m) teshteri ....  inti (f) teshteri  .... Huwa (m) yeshteri .... Heya (f) teshteri

Ihna nishteri (plural of I male and female)....   Into (plural of you male and female) teshterue ....             Humma (plural for he and she =they) yeshterue

With all due respect to the person who thought it meant to work; it is wrong; to work is ASHTIGHIL, not ashtaril, Ashtari, means to buy- not unless someone used the French R sound to mean to work, you know French people sound their R's as GHe

I'm sorry for your message for your misunderstanding, just I want to explain to everybody , the verb ishtarala  or the verb ishtaghala : both are the same meaning is a  verb '' to work ''.

The question : Conjugate EGYPTIAN Arabic verb  ''ISHTARIL ''  ,  the question should  remove  the last letter ''L''    from  the word '' ISHTARIL'' and because it  is already wrong.

The correct verb  is  :    ishtara  means  '' to buy '' is the correct verb spelling .

I hope everybody understand what I mean.

Have a good  education.

My arabic isn't the greatest in the world but I think it's something like this: singular: 1st (anaa) 'ashouf; 2nd m. (anta) tashouf; 2nd f. (anti) tashoufiin; 3rd m. (huwa) yashouf; 3rd f. (hiya) tashouf   plural: 1st (naHnu) nashouf; 2nd m. (antum) tashoufuu; 2nd f. (antunna) tashoufna; 3rd m. (hum) yashoufuu; 3rd f. (hunna) yashoufna

Like Spanish, the Arabic pronoun is somewhat superfluous. Hope this answers your question.

Your answer is right, my only remark that you mixed a slang word (ashouf) with the formal pronouns which it sounds weird.
the verb see has more than one word in arabic .....
I see ... ana ashouf (slang)
I see ... ana ara (formal), and this word can be used to express a dream that will come true in future
I see ... ana absor (formal) but this has another use in the meaning

There is nothing in Arabic as "Yashouf"! this is a dialect. Yerra means I see.

Ashouf means i want to see .  In Arqabic Asouf means  when there is a conversation between people and want to do something they will say Ashouf not sure if i want to do the things or not.

 

Asouf is not a slang language its a proper lanugage used with people.


The Arabic language has many different meaning for one words.

I believe that is already in present tense form...

shiftoo (spelling?) means I did see or I saw, so that's past tense

rah'ashoof (spelling?) means I will see, so that would be in future tense  

ashoof (or ashouf, I'm not sure of the actual spelling in english of any of these) means I see, which is in present tense

There are multiple dialects of arabic, I think this is more of a slang dialect. If you are taking an arabic language course you're more likely to be taught the proper dialect that you would find in textbooks.

When I said "slang" dialect I was referring to it being informal or a casual use of the word (or, as you said, colloquial), but I apologize if I offended you in any way. That said, I will rephrase and say that this isn't the formal use of the word. As to answering your question, I suppose I dismissed the main question you were asking when I read the subtitle or description you added below it, which stated "what is the present tense of ashouf(Arabic)".

still no answer. ashouf is only 1 person in the present. I want all 8: ana ashouf, enta....,enti...howa..., haya.... etc. Do you understand now? You did not offend me you simply wasted your time and mine. Is this how you work as a tutor? I think the problem may be due to your limited English there is no such thing as a 'slang dialect ' and informal, casual and colloquial are not interchangeable terms Chokran anyway. GE still no answer

If you are talking with somebody on someone else:

hooa shayef (male)

Mahmud I.

Hello, this Mahmud again. In order to conjugate the verb Ashti-gh-el which means to work, keep in mind the I way Phonetically spelled the verb; the sound of -gh- is like the letter "R" in French. It goes like this:

Ana ashti-gh-el.... Inta teshta-gh-al ....Iinti .... teshta-gh-li .... Whoua yeshta-gh-a'l .... Whia teshta-gh-al ....Ihna nishta-ghal .... Into teshta-gh-lu .... homma yeshta-gh-alu

Trust me you can't get it any better than that.
