General Indications Part one
If you are not familiar with the Arabic alphabet, knowing about our transliteration system will help you with pronunciation.
Here is the list of letters used in Darija, with the adopted transliteration for each one of them:
General Indications Part two
Some letters that are used in classical Arabic, are omitted in Darija, namely:
- th ث which is replaced by t ت; [Example: thôm ثوم (garlic) in MSA becomes tôma تومة in Darija]
- Dh ذ which is replaced by d د; [Example: dhakiyy ذكي (intelligent) in MSA becomes dki دكي in Darija]
- and TH ظ which is replaced by D ض. [Example: DHolm ظلم (oppression) in MSA becomes Dolm ضلم in Darija]
As for vowels, they will be like following:
a: Short a, like in (at).
â: Long a, like in (sad).
i: Short i, like in (bit).
î: Long i, like in (sheet)
o: Short o, like in (operate).
ô: Long o, like in (moon).
Other indications:
* (-): The dash will be needed to avoid confusion when a letter belonging to two different sounds is repeated twice. In Darija, it's very frequent to have words without any vowels at all. Example: sh-hr شهر (month).
* Doubled letter: Means that there is more stress on it. Example: 7orr حر (free).

lesson two : Feminine Form
In Darija, feminine words generally end with an (a), which is basically a silent (t) in standard Arabic. To form a feminine word from a masculine one especially adjectives- you just add (a) then.
examples :
lesson two : Greetings
Greetings are quite warm in Morocco, that you'll find a person you meet for the first time asking you about your health, family, work and so on. When two persons meet, their greetings can be long depending on how close they are to one another. Even when you come across somebody in the street, you manage to ask them quickly about their family.
Situational dialogue:
Sara: Sbâ7 lkhîr. ( good morning )
Fatima: Sbâ7 nnôr ( good morning)
Sara: Kî dâyra? Lâ bâs 3lîk? ( how are you )
Fatima: Lâ bâs l7mdo lillah, w ntî? ( i'm fine thanx and u )
Sara: Kol shî bîkhîr, Rbbi ykhllîk. ( i am fine too )
