«خَالْتِي عَنْدُكُمْ؟ مَا جَاتْشِي»

The colloquial saying sketches an exchange so short it barely counts as a visit. A caller asks whether his maternal aunt happens to be in the house, hears that she has not come, and is gone again. The aunt is incidental; the time that passed equals only that single question and its curt answer.

In use, the phrase measures time by that tiny exchange, marking any stay or event as remarkably brief; it says nothing about family relations. It often carries gentle irony toward a guest whose arrival and departure nearly overlap, someone who seems to say goodbye before having properly said hello.

Say it about someone who drops in and leaves almost at once, or about anything that passes in a moment, such as a short visit, a fleeting appearance, or a pause barely noticed. It suits light or mildly teasing remarks rather than serious complaint.
