This is hard for me, but I’ll have a few guesses - and include reasons for my guesses :

ddi 3ayn-ek - pay attention next time ( because : 3ayn = eye )

ha wdni mennek - you won’t listen ( because : wdn = ear )

get a hold of yourself - hshuma mrat-u d shaytan ( shame wife of the devil )

khrejti 3liya - shouldn’t you be going ( because : khrej = leave, go out )
