Aaya Tarawneh Aug 26, 2020:
ندامي I agree it would make sense if it were a typo of قدامي especially since it's written with a ي and not without the dots, as it would more naturally be if it were meant to indicate regret
S.J Aug 25, 2020:
I think it is "قدامي", which makes more sense than "ندامي". It means in my face.

disagree Aaya Tarawneh : فشرو could imply they're lying, but it's not what the word means, and translating it like this loses the sentiment expressed in the source

As if they could talk!

While not a literal translation, I think this would flow better in context. Other options could be "I dare them to talk!" or "Let them talk!" which would be natural things to say in English in this context.
