hazi 3ainik chofi fiyaaaaa ndik ndik ya drawiya

what does it mean? i understand some words but i can’t understand the whole sense of the period…

thanks for the help :hap:

#2

hazi 3ainik = Raise your eyes.
Chofi fiyaaaaa = Look at meeee :smiley:
Ndik ndik = I’ll take you, I’ll take you.

I am not sure about drawiya, do you have a link to the song?

#3

is this a song???:blink: do you think so? i don’t know…it was a reply under a photo…

#4

LOL!!

drawiya has a lot of meanings?

#5

It rhymes, just by reading it you can hear the beats -lol-. I’d say it’s sure a song.
As for drawiya, I don’t have any idea what it means. It refers to a female (the A ending), that belongs to Dra? (the iya ending), but that doesn’t make sense. Maybe it refers to the Draa (dr3a) region? When it gets this confusing, I just prefer to get to the source of the sentence myself to understand.

MarolRulz, do you have any idea as to what could Drawiya possibly mean?

#7

ya

#8

That’s used in Casa? I never heard the word.
Do you happen to know the song as well?

#9

ya, they use it in casa
no, i never heard that song :slight_smile:

#10

but it’s not an offensive word…or not? thanks :hap:

#11

it depends who u r saying it to

#12

Calling someone by their color can indeed be offensive, but in this context I don’t think it is.

#13

exactement !

#14

and this other…it seems very difficult for me… Masaltu haian mahma

#15

No context? It’s not easy to guess as it sounds as an incomplete sentence.
Mahma = no matter what (MSA).
