I can help with Arabic if you'd like ..just pm me.
The sentence you asked about basically means "what's up, beautiful?" (like ne haber), and it is in the Egyptian dialect.

Yeah, there is a modern standard arabic, which is pretty much the Quran arabic. I'd say it is the arabic spoken actually in the arabian peninsula.
The colloquial forms of arabic are different, being the ones closer to the arabian peninsula the "purest" ones (such us the iraqi or the shami), and he most "rotten" ones are the magrebi and maltese. The egyptian diallect is the most popular one, because it is used in music and movies.

Quoting akdeniz1: The egyptian diallect is the most popular one, because it is used in music and movies. |
And easier to understand too.
You mean the modern standard arabic is our formal arabic ?

akdeniz1 explained it correctly
Modern Standard Arabic is the Arabic of the Quran, which can also be called Classical Arabic (formal). It is used in news, papers, books, signs, etc...but people don't speak it with each other, they speak their own respective dialects. In order to read or write Arabic, you use Modern Standard/Classical.

Well,no
Formal Arabic is diffrent than the Arabic of Quran.
İt shouldnt be,but im afraid it is.
İn formal arabic we use simple words,in Quran you can find some words that not everyone 'even educated people' can understand them without searching for the meaning.
İt needs someone who is specialist in the Arabic languge or a poem who knows the language very well.
So maybe in that way,that is what she/he meant by saying Modern standard arabic.
