The translation given on this site for Driyyif is “nice,” but that’s vague. Do you use it when talking about a person? or an object? vacation??

chokran likom (to/for you), not 3leikom (on you) :wink:

as mad said, it’s only about people, it’s gentil in French… the rest of “nices” are all zwin, or mezian

Dreyef, is not for objects, or moods & manners, like vacancies & similar activities.

Dreyef is mainly for persons, & works for animals too. u can say “had l mosh dreyef” = this cat is nice/peaceful/cute.

For objects, u say: zwin, mzyan…

note: dreyef is a small form for drif, which comes from Foss7a “dareef”, in Fos7a “dareef” is used like “nice”, for persons, animals, objects…etc

It nice to meet you. I don’t have a lot of time to spend here, just try from time to time.
