Egyptian Arabic : فيّص

[al-sirbi]

Hi guys !

What does it mean فيّص ? The English translation is " to fade up", but I'm not completely sure about its meaning.
The sentence goes like this : كل الطلاب بيفيّصوا على الساعه واحده .. واحده ونص . All the students ---- around one o'clock ...around half past one.

Thanks !

It seems to read:All students go out of school at 1.30 PM

Sorry, Ayed, I'm afraid this is not correct. It means they're out of energy and can't focus or make effort anymore.

Thanks, Cherine !

In English we can say "they run out of steam."
