This paper examines verbal features in oral Standard Arabic (Fusha) performances in Cairo, Egypt, and concludes that there is much mixing of colloquial. Instead of the more typical approach of characterizing a whole form as either Standard or colloquial, this paper looks into detail at all the elements that go into such a judgment: the presence of ending vowels on the forms, word order, the form of accompanying negative particles, the form of the passive, and a number of phonological features of the verb: the prefix vowel, the stem vowel, infix vowels, the addition of particles like bi- and sa-, and the presence of feminine plural forms.
