You may have noticed that Darija, the Moroccan dialect of Arabic, is written using Latin letters on our platform. This is because many native speakers of Darija actually use the English alphabet to write the language, rather than the traditional Arabic script.

While some people may prefer to see Darija written using the traditional Arabic letters, we have chosen to use the Latin alphabet on our platform for several reasons. Firstly, using the Latin alphabet makes it easier for non-native speakers to learn and understand Darija. Additionally, it allows for greater consistency and ease of use across different devices and platforms.

However, we understand that some users may prefer to see Darija written using the traditional Arabic script, and we are always looking for ways to improve our platform and meet the needs of our users. If you would like to see more of the traditional letters used on our website, please contact us and let us know. We welcome your feedback and suggestions as we work to make Mydarija.com the best possible resource for anyone looking to learn and communicate in Darija.

If you would like to see more of the traditional letters, contact us to let us know. 

You may have noticed that some of the translations on Mydarija.com include numbers in place of certain letters. This may seem unusual or confusing, but it is actually a common practice in writing Darija, the Moroccan dialect of Arabic.

The reason for this is that there are certain sounds in Arabic that do not have a direct equivalent in the English alphabet. To represent these sounds, Arabic speakers often use numbers to replace the letters that would normally be used in English.

For example, the Arabic letter “ayn” is pronounced as a deep guttural sound made in the throat. In English, there is no letter to represent this sound, so Arabic speakers often use the number “3” to represent it in written form.

Similarly, the letter “ghayn” is another sound that is not found in the English alphabet. To represent this sound, Arabic speakers often use the number “ghayn.”

If you see a number in a word while using our platform, it is simply a representation of a sound that is not found in the English alphabet. To help you understand these sounds and how they are represented, we have created a special words page on our website. Here, you can find examples of words that use these special sounds, along with audio recordings to help you practice your pronunciation.

Check out our “special words” page for the 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9 letter sounds with audio.

We hope that this information helps you to better understand why numbers are used in some of the translations on our platform. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

 

Arabic script is read from RIGHT to LEFT.  Example (شكون )

When Arabic is written in English/Latin letters it is read from LEFT to RIGHT.  Example (chkoun)

Arabic is a gender specific language. Some of the words are said differently if you are talking to a male or a female.

If there is a (F) this means you are talking to a female. If there is a (M) this means you are talking to a male.

Here is an example if you are talking to a female:

Where are you going? = Fin ghadya (F)

Here is an example if you are talking to a male:

Where are you going? = Fin ghadi (M)

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

(S) Means Singular
(P) Means Plural
(F) Means Female
(M) Means Male

There are different spellings because there is no standard set of rules for Moroccan Darija.

We capitalized most of the words that start with the letter L on the home page and at the beginning of sentences to avoid confusion, because a lowercase l looks very similar to a capital I.

Mydarija is specifically designed to help you translate between English and the Moroccan dialect of Arabic, which is commonly used in Morocco.

Our website also offers an auto-teacher feature with a chat box where you can learn by typing and listening to audio.
