قواعد اللهجة المصرية

بيك من غيرك

with or without, in spite of, regardless

Introduction

     This construction is pretty straight forward. One thing to notice is the conjunction between the two prepositional phrases headed by بـ and من غير. In examples 1 and 5, it is left out; in example 2, it is و ; and in examples 3 and 4, it is أو .
