Dearest Liliane, how are you? I just put "hasn't come" because it will go into the proz glossary that way. The whole sentence is shown in the explanation.

Mona Helal

Example
So, now it’s already 5.39 in the morning, and I haven’t hit the sack, I’m always like this, I can’t remember when was the last time I had a decent slumber. So, that’s all for now, have a pleasant day for everyone.

فالأولى أوْلى أن تُترجم إلى ما يناسبها في المستوى اللغوي في اللغة المقابلة (اللغة الإنجليزية).
ولما كان تعبير ما جاليش نوم تعبيرًا عاميًا في اللكنة المصرية، فأرى أن من باب أولى ترجمتها إلى ما يقابلها في العامية الإنجليزية
