FAQ
General
Mydarija.com is a user-friendly website to help you translate English to the Moroccan dialect of Arabic and vice versa.
Many native people use the English alphabet to write Darija. If you would like to see more of the traditional letters, contact us to let us know.
There are some sounds in Arabic that are not found in the English alphabet, therefore some of the letters are replaced with numbers. If you see a number in a word, it is just a sound made in the throat that is not in the English alphabet. Check out our special words page for the 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9 letter sounds with audio.
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.
