   من شو مأنغرين العالم كلن اليوم؟

   min šū mʔangrīn l-ʕālam killun l-yōm?

   What's everybody so mad about today?

   كيفك؟ — مأنغرة ― kīfak? — mʔangar ― How are you? — I'm pissed off.

2. (impersonal) mad, angry, pissed off [with مَع (+ the logical subject) and مِن (min) ‘with, because of’]

   كيفك؟ — مأنغرة معي ― kīfak? — mʔangra maʕi ― How are you? — I'm pissed off.

   كيفك؟ — مأنغرة

   kīfak? — mʔangra

   How are you? — Pissed off.

   Notice the use of masculine and impersonal feminine.

• The impersonal usage is much more common. When used impersonally, the word is always inflected for هي (hiyye, 3rd-person feminine singular), even if the person angry is male or a group of people. It is typically then used with مَع (maʕ) to introduce the actual subject, i.e. whoever is actually angry, although this preposition can be omitted as in the last usage example above.
