Journalism / Kuwaiti dialect question
Arabic term or phrase: مابي ميت دينار
This is from a conversation between two Kuwaitis. My first guess is that it's the English word "maybe", but I'm not sure that fits the context.

Anyone here from Kuwait or familiar with the dialects?

agree  Saleh Dardeer: مابي means I don't want. It is shortened from ما أبغي. Kindly, consider correcting the following: that he doesn't want 100 Kuwaiti Dinars. Please, make sure that the adj "Kuwaiti" comes before the noun "Dinar"
