What does laysa 3ind sith mean in Arabizi?
laysa 3ind sith is how you write لَيْسَ عِنْد سيث in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “Seth does not have”.
The 3 stands for ع (ayn): a throaty sound. No clean English equivalent. 3 is a mirrored ع.
For the rest of the chat alphabet, see the Arabizi → Arabic guide. Got it the other way round, with Arabic script to convert? That is the Arabic to Arabizi converter.
